Hello debian-legal,
It was recently brought to my attention that my package, ircd-hybrid,
currently in the archive under main/net, needs to be corrected one way
or another due to its use of OpenSSL for encrypted server-to-server
connections. The source itself is licensed under pure GPLv2.

Currently some of newbiedoc documentation (including mine) are
licensed under GFDL. To make sure newbiedoc can stay in main,
I'm planning to change the license. What license is recommended?

I'm not claiming that the *book* is software; it's quite hard, as
I found out when I dropped it on my foot. But its source code
certainly is.
I agree, source code is still program, even if it is printed in the
