I have a personal interest in learning this (basic packaging), but won't
have time until late December. If no one else steps up, I'll do it then.
In the meantime, a suggestion: I've seen recently a discussion on trying
to convince upstream to re-license some software to be dfsg-free (IIRC,
in debian-science). I don't remember the software itself, but the
discussion revolved on what would be the proper wording to send as a
request to that upstream.
This one I linked, dotur, appears to have no license I can find (the
COPYING file in the latest version is actually a tgz for an old release,
and the website is pretty minimal). Maybe some DD could send a request
to this Dr. Schloss to make it GPL?
