[Debian-med-packaging] Any volunteer to support my request to HEP authors to fix their license - we have another dependency:libdsol1-java

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Tim,

I just fetched your last commit and realised that libdsol1 also is using
libcolt.  To not get another chain of non-free packages just because of
this stupid license I wonder if you (and others!) please could join me
in asking the HEP authors to relicense the old HEP library.  It's just a
matter of bureaucracy since later HEP versions are really free but the
old code used in libcolt has this "no military use" restriction.  Please
prove the author that there is *real* interest and not only this stupid
single guy Andreas Tille bothering him with boring stuff about old code.

Here is a reminder about what I'm talking:

It would *really* help a lot if the HEP authors just write a short mail
that they drop the restriction.

Thanks

       Andreas.
