Hi,

I am closing this bug, as all the evidence seems to point to there
being significant licensing concerns with Truecrypt, and until they
are resolved it should not be included in Ubuntu.

For instance there are the debian-legal discussions, along with
this:

  http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/distributions/2008-October/000273.html

It seems at this point the only way that the package could enter
Ubuntu is if Truecrypt clarify their license and remove the points
of concern.

Thanks,

James
