Hi, I came across JNOS today and it looks like an interesting piece of software that it would be nice to include in Debian. Unfortunately, this license that it has been released under "available to all for amateur radio use only" is not Debian Free Software Guidelines compliant and so it would not be possible to include this software in the main Debian repositories. Section 6 of the Debian Free Software Guidelines requires that licenses have "No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor". You can read more about the Debian Free Software Guidelines on the Debian website: https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines Would you consider relicensing this software under a license that is compliant with the Debian Free Software Guidelines in your next release? For more information on compatiable licenses, the Debian Wiki has more information: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses If you are willing to relicense this software, I would be happy to look at packaging it for Debian. Thanks, Iain. -- e: irl@fsfe.org w: iain.learmonth.me x: irl@jabber.fsfe.org t: EPVPN 2105 c: 2M0STB g: IO87we p: 1F72 607C 5FF2 CCD5 3F01 600D 56FF 9EA4 E984 6C49
