    As far as I understood a PM from Alex who forewarded an answer from the
    upstream author of the code in question he agreed to GPL.  So I guess
    this issue is solved.  Alex, I would recommend to include the relevant
    parts of the mail in the debian/copyright file.  It is advisable to
    remember upstream to reflect the license change also in the source code
    (which sometimes just will be forgotten).

    Kind regards

           Andreas.

Hello Charles and Andreas ,

Currently the author of code said that he will write a message to the 
upstream maintainer about naview.c license changes .
And he also said that I am allowed to change license to GPL for this file .
Upstream maintainer also says that he will think about dual licensing 
under GPL for the whole suite.

Best regards ,
Alex
