 That's fair.  I sympathize with the argument "I don't have time to do
 this right now and I won't do something that will later require more
 time from me which could be better spent doing this and that".  But
 then again, ftpmaster should also sympathize with the maintainer who
 spent time packaging something.  If ftpmaster has a problem with a new
 package, then say so: "That license doesn't look free to me".  Ignoring
 enquiries made after a reasonable ammount of time is wasting both
 ftpmaster's time and the maintianer's.

 I won't go digging up URLs, there's plenty of people who do that
 already.
