Uff. I wrongly assumed that software available on the internet without any restrictions (no licensing information, no "public domain" statement ) could be considered to be "public domain". As you say, it is not true. Thus, the original software is "all rights reserved". That means that noone (other than the original author---the coopyright holder) can: - distribute it - modify it - ditribute modified versions. Am I right? If that is true, it (unless it would be relicensed or put to public domain by copyright holder) it would be illegal to include it to the Debian project (either in `main' or to `non-free' sections). Am I right? [snip] -- Matej Kosik
