Hey, and a flower on the box and plant a tree for every copy made.
How many silly restricitions can we bear?
I don't see why Debian should follow the above requirements for a non-free
package. This is annoying.
I appreciate your effort Paul, that you make a pine package for us
available. I don't think it should be distributed on debian mirrors, though.
Thank you,
Marcus
