LPRng in stable non-free or wrong man page?
Hi,
this is the last part of the lpc man page which is contained in
debian-stable.
LPRng is a enhanced printer spooler system with function
ality similar to the Berkeley LPR software. In 1988
Patrick Powell released the PLP (Public Line Printer)
software, which went through several evolutions. Justin
Mason (jmason@iona.ie) generated PLP4.0 from several older
releases of PLP. In 1992 Patrick Powell release LPRng, a
completely redesigned and newly written version of the
software.
The LPRng mailing list is plp@iona.ie; subscribe by send
ing mail to plp-request@iona.ie with the word subscribe in
the body. The software is available from
ftp://iona.ie/pub/LPRng.
LPRng is distributed under the GNU software license for
non-commercial use, the Artistic License for limited com
mercial use. Commerical support and licensing is avail
able through Patrick Powell <papowell@sdsu.edu>.
This software should be in non-free. Maybe the license changed, but in
stable it is contained in main.
Just an old man page which got included? - Don't know, but it's misleading,
isn't it?
cu,
gerhard
