Is that just wondering out loud, or a particular question? I think it should be fine license-wise, except if they've included any "non-commercial" hoohaw from non-free. Probably the only potential sticking point is making source code available, for those packages that have licenses that require source code availability at no cost. I think that if you don't have to pay an additional fee, on top of the first donation, to get the source code, they should probably be in the clear. -Evan -- Evan Prodromou <evan@debian.org> The Debian Project (http://www.debian.org/)
