Hello, as you can see I'm the author, and I'm also a Debain Developer.

I was looking at the thread on debian-mentors about this
http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-mentors@lists.debian.org/msg51084.html

With respect to example.c - that should be in the public domain, I've
made it so in SVN.

My only other comment on the packaging is that very likely the FTP masters
would reject it because there are two packages with only a couple of files:
flickcurl, flickrdf and their man pages.  In a real package layout I
expect a flickcurl-utils package that contained both would be
more acceptible to them, although you can never tell.

Dave
