Comment 21 for bug 86480

Hi Till,
AFAIU the restricted part is _NOT_ the problem, 'cause: this part in the license has _NOT_
changed. Problem is, AFAIU, GPL was replace by "No license is required to download and .."

See also my comment from 26-Feb: Dave does not understand _WHY_ Debian/Kubuntu
has a problem with the license at all. I've asked for clarification but neither Tollef nor
James answered :(

IMHO: As we provide the code in the source pkg, I (whatever that's worth) and obviously Dave,
as it looks to me from Dave answer to Gilles question, see no problem distributing dcraw.
If in doubt, append the source code (it's one C file) in the debian/copyright file.

As is, we are stuck. :( Nobody, that has a problem with the license explicitly states/explains
what the problem with the license is. This blocks completetly the support of all new
RAW cameras. As a consequence all linux apps that support raw cameras will need
backporting as dcraw interface changed as usual and every app will need to be
backported to the older dcraw.

Sad but true :(
