Other than source code, the package contains manpages and documentation,
as usual.
Hon, who worked on Debianization of the package, checked with the
upstream author, and none of these parts came from the TCG
specification, thus, I suppose that we are covered by that license part.
Based on that, I will work to sponsor this package, and see if the
ftpmasters think differently.
Thank you!
