Dependency on Package where Upstream License Changed to Non-Free
Hello,
I am in the process of packaging UMLet [1] which depends on the external
library EPS Graphics2d [2]. Apparantly that libray used to be available
under GPL but is now distributed on a commercial basis.
The source of the EPS lib is contained in the UMLet release, therefore I
guess, that UMLet upstream will fix "their" version of the EPS lib if
necessary.
I can see three possibles ways to go on:
1. Rip the EPS part out of UMLet (it's used only for the EPS export
and removing EPS support is a straightforward task).
2. Ship the EPS library as part of the UMLet package.
3. Create a new package containing only the EPS library.
What would you suggest?
Thanks Ben
