Yes, seems that this issue with the license is finally being resolved.
Thanks a lot for your work :)

I will take a look at it, thanks!

I don't know if there is any policy inside Debian about packaging
development branches of software, but I guess that most people would
agree that is better to only package stable releases.

So I wonder if once this issue with the license is completely addressed
could you make a minor release to be packaged in debian? perhaps
something like aircrack-ng-1.1.1 with this license issues fixed and some
other fixes/features that you feel to be stable/tested enough to be used
on production environments like, for example, the commits of r2008 and
r2010.

Thanks!
