Good, thanks for getting back to work on the inclusion of hhvm into
Debian!

Do you mean apart from persuading the copyright holder (Facebook, Inc.)
to re-license hhvm under more general DFSG-free terms, such as the
3-clause BSD license?
Your help in getting this issue solved would be highly appreciated, I
think.
Please re-read  http://bugs.debian.org/727085#60
for further details on the licensing issue.

I think László (who reads us in Cc) is still interested in packaging
hhvm for inclusion in Debian.
At least the bug is still an ITP bug and still owned by László, hence,
unless he has just changed his mind, he should be still willing to work
on the packaging...

I suggest you to get in touch with László and ask him whether and how
you can help.

Thanks for being a Debian-friendly upstream developer and for offering
to help!

Bye.
