Re: Bug#20914: seyon package copyright (fwd)
[ Forwarded to debian-devel to see what other people think. ]
The copyright for seyon says:

Seyon is Copyright (c) 1992 of Muhammad M. Saggaf. Seyon is not
public domain. Permission is granted to use and distribute Seyon
freely for any use and to sell it at any price without reference to
the copyright owner provided that in all above cases Seyon is intact
and is not made part of any program either in whole or in part and
that this copyright notice is included with Seyon. Permission is
also granted to modify the source as long as the modified source is
not distributed.
======================================================================
I'm happy that we can work with this license, as we distribute diffs.
Thomas thinks otherwise. Thoughts?

(I've been here before):
you're packaging it (original sources & fixes) together as seyon.
