Thank you for inquiring. The licensing situation is unclear, but that's
something for Debian to worry about after upload, I don't think I'll get
a straight answer before that.
I haven't had much time for this recently, but my todo list consists of:
* Switch to the tarball used by FreeBSD (and soon Gentoo) at:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/thierry/
* Conduct a thorough license/copyright "audit" of the tarball to
make sure we have everything documented in the copyright file.
* Upload to non-free, will probably take several iterations to get
in.
* Separate out the non-free bits.
* Upload to main with non-free parts in separate package, again
will probably take several iterations.
* Use Jason Kraftcheck's scripts to separate it into a few
packages, and re-upload.
Are you interested in helping with any of the above?
