[Debian-med-packaging] Seaview could be changed to fully free license

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Manolo,

recently PHYLIP version 3.696 was recently released under a free license
(BSD-2-clause).  Since seaview is considered as non-free by Debian only
due to the usage of some code copies of PHYLIP files it would be really
great if you could review seaview whether you could have a look onto

   http://evolution.gs.washington.edu/phylip/download/phylip-3.696.tar.gz

and use the source files from there (which are basically identical as in
3.695 except for the license).

It would really help if you could do so in the next couple of days since
this would enable us to include a free seaview into the next stable
Debian release.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
