yeah, don't bother with FSL!  Even though still popular, non-free
license, and no longer fully open source AFAIK.

If any other alternative in purpose -- pick up AFNI please.
Major (if not all) licensing issues were resolved, we never uploaded to
debian proper though.  Upstream is very receptive and friendly.
Problems:
- age (in how long it has been out there, but it is still active)
- original build infrastructure was "suboptimal",Michael redid in cmake,
  upstream worked on establishing their own cmake build infra but they
  are not actively use it 

our aged, not updated in awhile packaging:
