Hello again.
I'm still pondering about this issue and now have a different approach:
Currently torque 2.4.16 is in main, so i take it for granted that it's
license is DFSG compatible, otherwise it wouldn't be there(at least it
would't for such a long time).
Now Torque 4.2.6.1 (and even the most recent Version 5.1.0) both have
excatly the same license included, so they are under the same license
as 2.4.16.
So to my understanding:
If we don't assume some mistake during the upload for 2.4.16 in the
first place, getting the most recent torque 5.1.x into main should not
be a problem at all, based on the fact that both packages are covered
by the same license.
Please share your thoughts about this.
Thank you!
