[Debian-med-packaging] Placnet packaged for Debian [ftpmaster at ftp-master.debian.org: placnet_1.03-1_amd64.changes REJECTED]

[Val Fernandez]

Thanks Andreas!

We published placnet under CC-4.0 (Or this was our intention). We are very
greatful that you include placnet in the official Debian repositories.


Thank you very much.


Best regards.


Val.
