Remaining licensing issues in HyPhy (Was: Problem creating R module in hyphy)

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi Sergei and others,

the current status of packaging is described in a file called
README.Debian[1].  IMHO it is sufficiently useful as is and we can sort
out my questions regarding the dynamic library and the R module at a
later stage.

Before I can upload the package to official Debian I need to sort out
some licensing statements which are unclear.

Once you have clarified these licensing issues the package could be
uploaded to official Debian.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
