I was refering to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2011/07/msg00146.html
The problem is that several data are released under
Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported (CC BY-ND 3.0)
which will move an important package for Debian Med (emboss) into
non-free. I would like to prevent this and we are seeking arguments to
convince authors to use a free license.
Kind regards
