Bug#368542: holdup



This package is currently being held up by the hep.aida package which is
included with the source code. The source files don't contain any
licensing information, and the colt package documentation claims an LGPL
with a military prohibition (non-free). However an analysis of the
upstream CVS repository:

   http://aida.freehep.org/source_code.thtml

reveals that the first CVS version of hep.aida that included licensing
information at the top of each source file was created on 2002/10/04.
The version included in colt is from 2000/03/23, and is not even in the
CVS repository.

I am currently exploring options for dealing with this with the upstream
author. However as active mainenance ceased years ago, it may be
necessary to manually update the package to work with the 2002/10/04
release of hep.aida. I have not yet evaluated the complexity of such a
task.
