Source: debconf
Binary: debconf-utils debconf debconf-doc
Architecture: m68k
Version: 0.3.79
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian/m68k Build Daemon <buildd@kullervo.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>
Description: 
 debconf    - Debian configuration management system
Changes: 
 debconf (0.3.79) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Copyright change: debconf is now licensed under the terms of the BSD
     copyright, minus the advertising clause. I have contacted all
     contributors and they agree with this license change. This also changes
     the license of the Configuration Management spec. The sole exception to
     this change is some libapt code in Client/preconfigure that is part of
     the /usr/lib/debconf/apt-extracttemplates binary. That code remains
     under the GPL, as it is part of libapt. It will hopefully be moved back
     into libapt one day. apt-extracttemplates is not necessary for the
     proper functioning of debconf; it is just a binary used in an
     optimization.
   * Motivations for this change were various. I want programs to be able to
     use debconf even if they are not licensed under the GPL, and it could
     be argued debconf serves as a library (with varying degrees of
     correctness depending which part you were talking about). I would like
     debconf to be available to others, including the BSD community, some of
     whom I know are looking at issues that could possibly be solved by
     debconf.
   * Several reogranaizations for this. Deleted doc/COPYING. Added a README.
     Included the text of the copyright into debian/copyright, since it is a
     slightly modified BSD license (minus point 3). Modified numerous files
     for the new copyright. Removed Client/preconfigure/README, and included
     the text that was in it (expended) indo debian/copyright. Added
     doc/COPYING to Client/preconfigure/ (how many copies of the GPL do
     _you_ have in your cvs repository? ;-) Caused debian/copyright to be
     linked to doc/COPYRIGHT in the source tarball.
