Before packaging fpdf I talked with the author about this, and he told
me to read FAQ#1:

1. What's exactly the license of FPDF? Are there any usage restrictions?
FPDF is Freeware (it is stated at the beginning of the source file).
There is no usage restriction. You may embed it freely in your
application (commercial or not), with or without modification. You may
redistribute it, too.

Timetable Generator in debian?

2004-08-05 Thread MiguelGea
I am developing a timetable generator for schools, and in the future I
want to add it to debian. To compare it with another software in debian
I looked for another timetable generator in debian, but I don't find
another one! In which moment I have to begin to search a mentor? The
application now is begining to work, but it is very inestable.

OT: Does anybody know another timetable generator for schools in debian?
