Howdy Debian-legal, There is an RFP that I am looking to do, and I've been trying to sort out the license so that it can be included in Debian. In particular the software had *no* license for some time, and only recently has it aquired a EULA that is non-DFSG compliant. I've been in contact with the upstream to tell them that I really would like to include their software in Debian, but in order to do so we'd need to do some work on the License. He seems eager to get it in, but doesn't know if there are copyright issues and suggests that it goes into non-free while we work them out, later move it into main. There is of course the possibility that the EULA is too "draconian" to even go into non-free, that I don't know so I ask you folks. The EULA has been posted to: http://lists.debian.org/debian-wnpp/2005/01/msg00086.html you can see his response to my license query below, I would really like to help him resolve these "(maybe) copyright issues" so that it can go into main, instead of non-free, so I would like some advice on how to move forwards with that.

This is a quick reply from me. I would be happy if cfg2html will be included into Debian (maybe in sarge)? Unfortunatley there are (maybe) copyright issues we must discuss. Maybe we can first put it under non-free and move it later to main? Do you have version 1.18-10?//1.18-11?
