Hi Pali and mentors,

there should be a verbatim copy of the license included in the upstream tarball
look e.g. to
https://ftp-master.debian.org/REJECT-FAQ.html
License II and III sections
so, either you have to document how the license is obtained, or how to reproduce the files
generation.
I know licenses are a waste of time for somebody (they were for me when I started
my contributions in Debian :p )...
but they are the best way to get your package rejected by ftpmasters!
So, this point is really a showstopper for the inclusion in Debian of the tool
(BTW if you want to ask ftpmasters about their opinion let me know their answer).
I would like to avoid uploading and get a reject, but I would consider an
upload with a ping to ftpmasters about this issue.
cheers,
Gianfranco

Gianfranco, what else needs to be done? I think I done everything what I
was able to do...
