Bug#809830: Please, allow licensing change (was: wtop: dubious packaging license change)

[Mauro <lavaramano@gmail.com>]

Hi Eriberto,

I'm no longer a Debian Developer (that's why you might received a
bounced-mail) so, I'm not sure about taking a position in this matter.
FWIW,  I think it's a positive change so for me, go ahead.

Saludos,
Mauro
