Oh, i'm sorry! Seems like i've overlooked those two. I don't know what you've done so far, but if it would be really really nice if i could either join you or do the package. Just tell me what would be better ;P. > - The files under src/win32helpers are released under the 4-clause BSD > license which is incompatible with the GPL.

Okay, i removed those files. Adding +dfsg to the version number means that the package is modified to comply, right? But why is it done then - i thought every package in main has to comply with dfsg, so its clear that the packages in main either comply or are modified to comply by the packager. (don't get me wrong - i dont put adding +dfsg in question, i just want to understand why its done ;P). > - The files src/vigra_impex/rgbe.* were written by Bruce Walter and Greg > Ward (not mentioned in the copyright file) and do not include any clear > license information.

Okay. have you contacted Greg Ward Larson yet to asking him to relicense / clearify the license yet? If not i would do that. Thanks alot for the help. Regards - Dario Ernst
