Final licence for the Bewan ADSL modem drivers.



Hello, ...

Well, Bewan finally release version 0.4.2 of their drivers with the
following licence :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Program code and documentation are

In addition, as a special exception, BeWAN systems gives permission
to link the code of this program with the modem SW library
(modem_ant_PCI.o, modem_ant_USB.o), and distribute linked combinations
including the two. You are also given permission to redistribute the
modem SW library (modem_ant_PCI.o, modem_ant_USB.o) with the rest of the
code.
You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of
the code used other than the modem SW library.

See the file COPYING.GPL for details.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is ok now, and i uploaded the package to non-free.

It is GPLed, and the special exception allows to link with the non-free
library as well as distributing the non-free library with GPLed work,
which should satisfy all problems regarding the inclusion of this
package into non-free, that is until we kick non-free out of our archives :).

Thanks for your help on this,

Friendly,

Sven Luther
