elilo-installer copyright status



Hello, I hope I'm contacting the right folks!

I'm trying to find out the copyright status of the elilo-installer
package to see if it qualifies as free software or not. Below is a bit
of a description and I was advised by debian-legal to ask the package
maintainers. Hope someone can help!

Cheers,

Peter.

This is an oversight. Please contact the debian-boot mailing list, and/or
the package's contributors (as identified in debian/changelog), to have this
corrected.
