Bug#329485: ITA: xsnow -- Brings Christmas to your desk

[Cai Qian <caiqian@debian.org>]

Hi,

The upstream author has finally agreed to change license, so that I will upload
1.42 shortly. Any suggestion about package 1.42? Below are the message I got
from upstream author.

Hi Cai Qian,

Yes, you can write that, I just verified with Robin Hogan explicitly if
these wordings are ok with him.

Enjoy!
