[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#637430: Licensed only to individuals; not distributable by us?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

as far as I understood Steffen[1] upstream was previousely contacted and
the permission is granted.  Steffen, can you find some mail from this
time which is usable for quoting?

Kind regards

      Andreas.
