That unfortunatly isn't too terribly convincing as to which GNU license they wanted their work to be released under; they should use the text in the GPL itself if that's the license that the code should be released under. > i ve been tried to reach them but didnt get a response This is more damning than the mere copyright/licensing issues; if you can't get talk to upstream, and aren't willing to take the reigns for upstream development yourself if the package enters Debian, you generally shouldn't even consider packaging it for an official Debian release.
