Hi, If it is non-free, in any way (by that I mean it violates the DFSG, as you say this does), it does not belong in contrib. Period. Put it in non-free. Contrib stuff has t be DFSG free. manoj -- "I woudn't recommend sex, drugs, or Unix for everyone, but they work for me." J

Ok, here's another one for you DFSG gurus. This one should be easy: According to my reading of this rather skimpy license, this package is free to distribute, but non-free in so far as it violates point 4 of the DFSG. It's not utterly clear to mean in DFSG#4 talks about building/comp

Hi, I'm unsure what I should do with the following bug, so I'm asking here for advice (especially since I know Hamish Moffatt and Ben Gertzfield read this list, since their www-mysql and libdbd-mysql-perl packages might be affected). Up to now, I've been following the upstream source and installi

Should `libguile' install /usr/share/aclocal/threads.m4?
