Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you



Amanpreet Singh Alam is also using alternate addresses, which I also
CCto this mail to get better chances he sees it.

To A S Alam, could you address the below question about the Punjabi
locale (this is pa_PK as it seems that pa_IN doesn't have the
"offending" sentence included).

Quoting Helge Kreutzmann (debian@helgefjell.de):
> Hello,
> you are listed as contact person/author of the following locale:
> 
> pa_PK
> 
> This locale comes with a statement
> 
> % Distribution and use is free, also
> % for commercial purposes.
> 
> Thus it does not allow modification; it is unclear, however, if this
> statement was meant as a license.
> 
> As discussed in
> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555168 this
> locale could strictly speaking not be part of Debian which would be a
> great loss. (Currently it is allowed pending investigation).
> 
> To properly resolve this, I would like to ask you the following
> question:
> 
> Would you be willing to relicense this locale to a proper license,
> e.g. (L)GPL v2 or higher or another free software license of your choice?
> 
> If you have any questions regarding this issue, do not hesitate to

> Thanks for helping to resolve this!
