* Package name    : libafs-perl
  Version         : 2.2.3
  Upstream Author : Norbert Gruener <nog@MPA-Garching.MPG.DE>

* License         : GPL or Artistic (Artistic in practice, see below)
  Description     : Perl interface to the AFS distributed filesystem

AFS is a distributed filesystem allowing cross-platform sharing of
files among multiple computers.  Facilities are provided for access
control, authentication, backup and administrative management.

This package provides Perl bindings to the AFS APIs, including support
for doing in Perl nearly all of the operations possible with the AFS
client programs.

Note that the licensing on this package is a bit subtle, although it
shouldn't be a serious problem.  The module is licensed under the
standard Perl terms of the user's choice of GPL or Artistic, but
OpenAFS is licensed under the IBM Public License, which is DFSG-free
but incompatible with the GPL.  Therefore, the Artistic license is the
license one has to consider when looking at the combined work.

Also, the upstream source includes a copyright notice and license from
Stanford University for the original version of the module.  This is our
old license agreement, which is not clearly DFSG-free (it doesn't clearly
grant the right to distribute modifications).  However, Stanford
University has since relicensed the original code under the DFSG-free MIT
license that's compatible with most everything.  I've told the upstream
author about this, and this will also be clearly noted in the copyright
file of the package.

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 304709
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
304709@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
