[UPLOADED] hex-a-hop (updated package)



Hi Jens,

I uploaded the package.  I still have some comments (see below), but
they weren't enough reason to not upload.

Strictly speaking, you don't.  You can choose to accept any version, for
example "all versions >= 2", like the game itself is licensed.  Then you
have the right to distribute using that license.

However, I agree it is nice to ask people what they intended, and not
remove license options without reason.

This is a bit of a special case, because "GPL without version" only
implicitly means "any version".  If that is really intended, it is much
better to really write it.

On that I agree.  It's not wrong, it just could have been more clear.

What I meant is that if you consider license information of any value to
the reader of the manual page, it should contain a link to the actual
license text (it can be on the internet as well).  In fact, I expect it
not to add much value at all, and I would have removed it completely.
But it's up to you, and if you like it better this way, again, it's not
wrong.

Ok, that's also something you shouldn't do. :-)  Perhaps lintian should
warn about it...

No problem, it's only a wishlist bug. :-)

Thanks,
