I prefer not to include this in non-free if I can help it, so although it is good to know that it is OK for non-free, I am going to see if the upstream is willing to change the license so it can be included in main first. But if that will take too long, for whatever reason, I will consider putting it into non-free to get it into Sarge before freeze and then move it into main if it gets resolved. I am not interested in maintaining it if it stays in non-free however. > Parts of section 2 appear to contradict section 1: [snip] > but I don't think that is a showstopper for non-free.

I would really appreciate that, hopefully the upstream would also be amenable to this, we shall see. Micah ps - please continue to CC me as I am not subscribed to debian-legal
