Intent to package - rhide



rhide is an IDE for DOS (spit) and Linux. It is GPL'd, with the following
addition:

--cut--
Additional conditions:

If you make any modifications on RHIDE, you have to leave the original
copyright notice intact and add an comment about your modifications.

If you distribute the binaries for RHIDE from modified sources, then
you have to add a notification which is printed at startup of RHIDE
and in the about box to tell the user that you have made modifications
and that it is not the binary from the original sources distributed by me.

If you distribute the sources for RHIDE, you are not allowed to distribute
the full modified sources for the Turbo Vision library because of the
copying conditions by Borland International.

If you want to include RHIDE (binaries and/or sources) in a commercial
product (on a CD-ROM for a book or something else) contact me first.
--cut--

I believe the bit about contacting the author contradicts the GPL, therefore
this is a KDE-type license. I'll talk to the author about it.

Once that is resolved, I believe it is a main package.

Also, it wants its own group with read to /dev/vcsa*, what should I do about
this? (It doesn't _need_ one, but the mouse doesn't work otherwise).
