Bug#267626: Fwd: RFS (or feedback): chuck



The following issue was raised when I requested feedback on my package
from the mentors list:

This is correct. However a quick scan over the packages reveals src/rtmidi.cp
which has the following license

   Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person

The second clause of which is probably not DFSG-free.

It would be a shame to lose this software because of this, so hopefully
we can find a way to solve this problem.
