Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

it turned out that the database which is used in freediams (file
global_resources/databases/drugs/master.db) is a compilation of data
with different licenses.  Some of the original data have non-free or
unclear licenses.  After a discussion on the Debian Med mailing list it
turned out that the problem is not easily solvable by providing a
reduced dataset with exclusively free data and thus it seems to be the
best idea to remove freediams for the moment from Debian until this
issue is clarified.

Kind regards

      Andreas.

As far as I can see, the package is indeed distributable, but not fit
for main.
I therefore close the bug cloned for snapshot.d.o (sorry for the noise)
and will remove the package from main soonish.

Yes, fit for non-free not for main.  And the whole license should be
added to debian/copyright (and an unofficial translation would be
usefull, too).

Well, in some legislations "reproduction" includes limited modifications
rights, however not enough for main (and not in .eu).  So yes, unfit for
main, unless clarified to include rights for modifications.
