Yes.

The agreement was that a user could pick some older binary package from
snapshot.debian.org which can be installed in parallel to the versioned
package. Or the user can install fis-gtm-6.2-000 in addition to an
older version - but the older version vanishes from the archive. At
least I have understood it this way. I have no idea whether this makes
really sense - I'm no fis-gtm user. However, we agreed that for a low
popcon package it is not possible to maintain several versions
officially.
Does this clarify my idea why fixing the licensing issue in
fis-gtm-6.2-000 would be sufficient?
Kind regards
Andreas.
