Bug#491805: RFS : sqlline



Hi,

Initially, it's exactly what I've done in debian/control. But I then remember 
using sqlline with Oracle or Firebird JDBC drivers which are not in Debian : I 
don't want to force debian users installing a package they don't need so I 
downgraded that to a Suggests.
But you're right, we may concentrate on what Debian is providing.

It's really weird :
- Upstream website say BSD licence [1] and links to [2]
- Source code is under 3-clauses BSD : src/sqlline/SqlLine.java
- root LICENCE file is GPLv2

I've re-downloaded upstream tarball to double check that but I got exactly the 
same file. I'll try to contact upstream author on this issue.

Good night,
