I talked to Mark Podlipec, the author, and he said that there should be
no problem of just giving the binary away, the only problem is if you
give away the .o files that you download form Mark's ftp site and compile
in. If I were to give those away I would have to distribute the copyright
notices also.
However, it still has to be in the non-free section because Mark's copyright
says that only non-commercial use is permitted.
I will include the copyright notices for all the included software
though, to be on the safe side, even though Mark said it isn't neccessary.
