license check for tqsllib
Hi,
I want to package tqsllib and trustedqsl, which are a ham radio
application. However the DFSGness is not clear to me so I welcome your
comments. It appears to me to be similar to the BSD including the
advertising clause. How do we deal with that scenario these days?
Please CC me on replies if you can; M-F-T should indicate that too.
Thanks,
Hamish
