freedomization task list [was: Re: Dangerous precedent being set - possible serious violation of the GPL]

[Tomasz Wegrzanowski <maniek@beer.com>]

Patched freedomize task list :

All these ideas are from /var/state/apt/lists/ftp*non-free*
There might be some bugs on this task list, this is only fast look-thru
Marked positions are the most promising

CKJV: (CKJV is all very non-free, should be changed)
a2ps-perl-ja

*tex extensions: (some will be simple, others not)
abc2mtex
arabtex
lgrind
opustex
musixtex (+ -doc)

tools/frontends :
archie
xarchie
btoa
chktex

need investigation :
clustalw
frotz
imgstar
mmm
rman
treetool

not-in-perl :
mp3asm
tgif

editors : (someone should make free similar ones, not-in-perl)
axe
nedit
 
patent problems (not-in-perl) :
whirlgif - make other-format-servicing alternative

semi-done :
wwwtable   (searching for testers)
html2latex (searching for testers)
calctool   (tommorow will be searching for testers (6 Dec))
xearth     (went gifless)
lclint (+ -doc) (went GPL)

important mistake of packages' author :
xevil changed license and is not free. it was.
we should back to last free version
