Comment 4 for bug 290266

To clarify: I didn't mean that the software couldn't be included in an Ubuntu repository; only pointing out some of the issues. It's not my call as a volunteer triager. Such a license will get several close reviews and debates before inclusion. If there's demand within the Ubuntu developer community to push the package, then it could find it's way into the Multiverse or Partners repos. But it will take time. Of course, inclusion as a Partner will depend on decisions by Canonical employees, and I can't speak for them.

Another option is for the upstream project or a third party to create their own repository (they're available on Launchpad as PPAs) to distribute the software package. This can be done concurrently with the process of inclusion into the official repos. This option makes the software available much faster, since it does not rely on the Ubuntu community to package and maintain it, and might be a good temporary solution for a small group - as long as the use is permitted by license.
