python-dtcwt is in Debian since 2015, but ORIGINAL_README.txt[0]
file is a bit problematic. I need someone to do a second check on
copyright.
[0] - https://anonscm.debian.org/git/debian-science/packages/ python-dtcwt.git/tree/ ORIGINAL_README.txt
It is said:
"This code is copyright and is supplied free of charge for research
purposes only. In return for supplying the code, all I ask is that, if
you use the algorithms, you give due reference to this work in any
papers that you write and that you let me know if you find any good
applications for the DT CWT. If the applications are good, I would be
very interested in collaboration. I accept no liability arising from use
of these algorithms."
- ... free of charge for research only ...
- ... all I ask is ... let me know if you find any good ...
The package is BSD, but COPYING.txt file says:
"This licence applies to any parts of this library which are novel in comparison
to the original DTCWT MATLAB toolbox written by Nick Kingsbury and Cian
Shaffrey. See the ORIGINAL_README.txt file for details on any further
restrictions of use."
It does not look to be in "main" to me.

Herbert
