As I'm happily using the package that would be very bad indeed. I'm thus
stepping up to help. Still, I'd like not to fully adopt the package as that
seems to be to much workload for me as well.

This I'd offer indeed. I've just read all of the conversation on debian-legal on
this matter. I've pretty much no idea about the legal business, but pursuing
people should be doable.

What I'd probably need is some briefing on the package, pointers to the CVS,
your previous work, etc.

HTH,
Michael
