Re: License of z-push

[Paul Wise <pabs@debian.org>]

Since Debian servers (ftp-master & mirrors) are located in the USA,
the license forbids it from being distributed by Debian:

http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=ries

In addition, like Fedora, Debian probably wouldn't distribute it
because of the patent risk.

berlios is probably technically in violation of the license.

Some possible options for alternative distribution (IIRC all outside the USA):

http://unofficial.debian-maintainers.org/
http://debian-multimedia.org/

In addition you could just keep the packaging in your SVN repo and
expect people to build the package manually.

Please contribute to the various campaigns to end software patents:

http://en.swpat.org/

PS: how did you get list.d.o instead of lists.d.o in the to address
but still get your message delivered?
