That's good news. We've already have a BSD port and now a debian
package. Very good. I'll include a link to it on our website
shortly. Is [1] the final URL? Of course you can upload it to the
official Debian archive. I havn't had a chance to look at the
package myself but I will.

Yes. License. Not familiar with the DFSG (you meant 2. yes?). So I
don't know what the definition of free there is. I have been
thinking about license myself lately, mainly the possibility and
impact of changing it to an existing free license (FDL or
something). But I've been lazy about this I guess. But I suppose
you can put it under non-free until things changed.

Thanks again.
