Bug#146636: GPL flash library and utilities

[Robert Millan <zeratul2@wanadoo.es>]

Hello!

I've looked at your free flash utilities
(from http://www.swift-tools.com/Flash/)
and like them very much. Me and Aubin
Paul have been building debian packages
for it.

After some time of fixing sources, we have
put them to compile with the latest libraries
(including Mozilla 1.0.0). They have been
heavily modified.

Are you still maintaining this? Do you
want me to send a tarball with the
latest sources? It'd be very nice if
you were willing to keep your work
on this software set.

Also, I've found a license problem. I believe
it's illegal to link your GPLed code
(plugin.c) with Mozilla's npunix.c, which
is licensed under the MPL.

So far, I'm trying to contact the Mozilla
group for permission to use it as a GPL
source file, but if they don't then
you'd have to license the plugin under
the MPL also; otherwise building it
would be illegal.

Once this legal issue has been solved,
we in Debian would be happy to include
the flash utilities in our distribution.

Thanks,
