Hi
for several weeks now I am dealing with the different methods of downloading
the official cd images of the debian distribution. The hundred of mirrors
containing the debian packages are clearly separated into those, which are
located in the US, and those, which are not, because of the non-u

Hi,
I'm not really used to reading english language licences but I have been
asked if JasPer (http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasper/) would be able
to make it into Debian. Since I'm sure someone of you knows much better
than I do, is this licence free enough or isn't it?
Thanks.

What a completely useless response. You completely missed the point of

Hi,
I am packaging the Mac-on-Linux emulator mol, which is itself GPLed.
Recently, it has become capable of booting both Mac OS and Linux on
its virtual machine and therefore was moved from contrib to main. Now
the question has arisen whether some of the low-level drivers that mol
includes should
