Ok.

I'll follow your suggestion.

Ok, as I think switiching to native make sense I'll do all my best to
create a correct native package.
After your previous email I contacted monit authors to solve the
licensing problem. One of them replyed he has no problem if I use these
three methods even releasing they code with BSD license as the rest of
apt-spy. Do you think I need to wait for all three to reply? Do I need
to include the message somewhere? And if yes where is it appropriate? In
the README?
Thanks again for your help.
Bye
Stefano
