Hi Andreas,
this did not work:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2012/01/msg00071.html
Hmmm, Alex, could you please a bit more verbose what e-mail addresses
Hi Andreas ,
I tried all possible emails of Catherine Loader I could find .
http://stat.bell-labs.com/project/locfit/ both Catherine and Jiayang Sun .
http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/showperson?firstname=Catherine&surname=Loader
herine.net domain addresses: adm[at]herine.net and c[at]herine.net.
Jiayang Sun couldn't help with licensing issue .
Cuffllinks upsteam also couldn't help with working contacts .
you tried and how you tried to find out somebody who finally *is* *able*
to decide about licensing issues?
According the copyright :
"Anyone wishing to use Locfit in any kind of comparative benchmark
study must contact and obtain permission from the Author."
The Author seems to be Catherine....
Another possibility can be Lucent Technologies ,
but I didn't try this direction so far .
If we can assemble a longer list of similarly non-free packages,
perhaps their rescue could be wrapped as a summer of code project ?
You mean to clarify the licenses or to rewrite the code?
Kind regards
Andreas.
Best regards ,
Alex
