I wanted to package this really cool program two years ago already, but
I couldn't.
The problem is not that the files created by upstream are not properly
licensed. He is willing (and allowed, legally) to license proper license
them under a free license.
The real problem is, that it the program needs a lot of 'template' stuff
and includes from delphi which license these templates not only under
non-free terms (non-commercial use only), it is even undistributable
(distribution explicitly not allowed to third-parties without prior
agreement with borland; and they are likely not to give this permission,
because that is what their delphy commerical version for a few hundert
dollars is for).
Really bad that :(
