Bug#702075: Abandoning Hexchat ITP



noowner 702075
retitle 702075 RFP: hexchat -- an IRC client based on XChat
thanks

I am abandoning this ITP - First, it has a GPL license, but links
OpenSSL, but doesn't have an OpenSSL exception, which makes it a bit
problematic.
- 
Other than that, Hexchat is in active development upstream, but there
was talk from someone that said that he planned to continue XChat
development (as a fork of Hexchat if I understand correctly) and had got
the necessary rights from the previous XChat developer. Since XChat is
already present in Debian, I am guessing that they would continue
packaging this work.
