Hi Till,
AFAIU the restricted part is _NOT_ the problem, 'cause: this part in the 
license has _NOT_
changed.  Problem is, AFAIU, GPL was replace by "No license is required to 
download and .."

See also my comment from 26-Feb:  Dave does not understand _WHY_  Debian/Kubuntu
has a problem with the license at all.  I've asked for clarification but 
neither Tollef nor
James answered :(

IMHO: As we provide the code in the source pkg, I (whatever that's worth) and 
obviously Dave,
as it looks to me from Dave answer to Gilles question,  see no problem 
distributing dcraw.
If in doubt, append the source code (it's one C file) in the debian/copyright 
file.

As is, we are stuck. :(  Nobody, that has a problem with the license explicitly 
states/explains
what the problem with the license is.  This blocks completetly the support of 
all new
RAW cameras.  As a consequence all linux apps that support raw cameras will need
backporting as dcraw interface changed as usual and every app will need to be
backported to the older dcraw.

Sad but true :(

Achim
