Re: ftp.debian.org: RM: imapsync -- RoM; author doesn't want us to distribute his program (original) (raw)

I do not understand why you wish to remove from the debian archive software that debian users may rely on (as far as I can see from the original report, not everyone's use of the version Debian ships hits the reported problem), just because of a possible license problem in a different version of the software than debian ships.

As far as I can see, the author of this software has even said in a message in this bug report that "You can even make [this software] a GPL software"[1], which I understand him to mean that the intent of the new license is to be GPL-compatible!
