Subject: JNOS in Debian

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.
