The group at Heroine Warriors have released Cinelerra 1.0, which is
based on the earlier Broadcast 2000.

* Package name     : cinelerra
  Version          : 1.0 
  Upstream Authors : Heroine Warriors <broadcast@earthling.net>
* URL              : http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3
* License          : GPL (debian-legal, see below)
  Description      : an advanced compositing and editing system

 Cinelerra combines most of the basic functions needed to produce motion
 pictures with a capable compositing system.  Advanced editing, YUV
 compositing, and realtime effects are some of the things Cinelerra does.
 Cinelerra's 16 bit YUV compositing engine has been optimized for multiple
 CPU's, reduces generation loss, and significantly reduces compression time.
 Capturing from IEEE1394, Video4Linux, Motion JPEG, and screenshots is
 supported.

There has been no activity on this bug since the last person who was
interested posted on 15th of August 2001.  It's been over a year.  I intend
to wade through the mess of cinelerra's build system, come up with some
packages and actually upload them into Debian.

NOTE TO -legal:  The code is released under the GPL, but with the following
addition: 
    In addition to the GPL's warranty stipulation, Heroine Virtual Package is
    distributed WITHOUT GUARANTEED SUPPORT; without even the guarantee of
    ADDITIONAL LABOR.
(The Heroine Virtual Package they refer to is the massive source tarball.)

I believe this is still compliant with the DFSG, it doesn't place any
restrictions on use or modification or distribution of the code.
