Not really. If I undrestand correctly FreeDiams need some database.
You build a database which is created from data which are distributed
under a DFSG free license and ship it with FreeDiams. Please make sure
the complete license text and the original documentation will be
provided inside the tarball (and as I mentioned some notes about the
creation process).
All other databases which are in conflict with DFSG (non-commercial,
exclusive academic , whatever) should be provided in a separate
source tarball, say
freediams-extra-drugs_non-free-<version>.tar.gz
and also here make sure to quote the license text from the original
location. This is not only important for Debian - it is for every other
user and specifically for you as author to be very clear about the
license.
We might package this as freediams-extra-drugs Debian package in
Debian non-free and might do a
Suggests: freediams-extra-drugs
inside the freediams package.
Kind regards
Andreas.
