Hi,

I have seen you did recently an update of the licenses from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/ but you did not include the Affero
license http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/agpl-3.0.txt
Could you please add it?

We are slowly getting packages under this license in Debian and it would
be nice not having 34K copyrights :-)

Some packages using Affero:

debian-goodies
feed2omb
pokerth (*)
poker-network
wikkid (*)

(*) Under the AGPL but they do not include the full license text in the copyright file.

Stuff under AGPL that could land in the debian archive anytime soon:

jarifa http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557757
statusnet http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=491723
routino http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608150
pastebin http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=451937

Thanks!
Ana

I recently re-ran the license check across the current Lintian lab, and it
turned up only 31 packages in the archive that use the AGPL version 3.
This seems low enough to me that it's unlikely that the AGPL will reach a
common-licenses threshold in the near future.  I'm accordingly closing
this bug.

If the usage of the AGPL by Debian packages substantially increases in the
future, we can reconsider this.
