new radiusd-merit lincense
Hi all...
I'm the maintainer of radius-merit package, and currently debian
version is 2.4.23, but now Merit has a new version, 3.5.6, with lot
of changes and enhancements.
One of their changes is the lincense, now it doesn't permit
distribution:
"...
Distribution of this software or derivative works or the associated
documentation is not allowed without an additional license.
..."
I'm pretty new, so I don't know what I should do. Have I to ask
myself for a lincense? or maybe that has to be done by "some
important Debian person"?
I'm afraid that without their permission we'll have to continue
with old version 2.4.23, or maybe giving up with radiusd-merit and
maintaining other radius packages like radiusd-livingston...
I would apreciate ideas.
