Hi Mike, unfortunately I have to reject your package. According to [1] "(...)TrueCrypt seems to be reserving the right to sue any licensee for copyright infringement, no matter whether they comply with the conditions of the license or not. Based on this, our counsel advised that above and beyond being non-free, software under this license is not safe to use. (...)"
