Thanks. I see you have 2 replies already.

This is not DFSG[1] compatible, I have to exclude it.

I made an updated debian/copyright for 4.1.0, you can see it here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-lego-team/nqc/-/blob/master/debian/copyright?ref_type=heads

I will be able to include more examples in the next release thanks to
your clarifications.


Some other remarks:

- The package is substantially larger than before (6.3 MB instead of
  459 KB) because of the pictures in Omni, could they be reduced?

- There are other references to external resources in markdown/HTML
  files, which is a potential privacy breach for our users, you can find
  them with:

  git grep '\.yahoo\|yimg\|geocities'

  There may be others that I missed. Linking to a web page is not a
  problem, but image, stylesheet and javascript are.

- Do you need to keep original HTML files? Do they really need to be
  installed?


Thank you!

Nicolas.
