* Package name    : perforce
  Version         : 2007.2-2
  Upstream Author : Perforce Inc. <support@perforce.com>

  Description     : closed source revision control system

  closed source, centralised source control system akin to CVS and
  subversion.  You'll need a license to run a server with more
  than two users.  Free licenses are granted to open source
  projects.

  I'm in talks with perforce to get explicit permission to
  distribute in non-free.  Current license discussions are here:

  http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/09/msg00184.html

  My packages are here:

  http://superduper.net/downloads/debian/

  I've created two packages: 'perforce' for the
  client and 'perforce-server' for the server.  The
  'perforce-server' package is a 'fat' package that contains
  many server binaries (since the users license if normally
  limited to a given version).  The server package contains
  debian-friendly init scripts, etc.
