[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#846557: Please use free version of phylip in ugene

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I intend to package the latest version of Ugene for Debian.  Since I'm
always verifying whether the license of all third party components would
permit distribution in main (=official) Debian since it is currently
only in non-free and thus not part of the official Debian distribution.
It would help if you could just provide the version 3.696 of phylip[1]
which has no real code changes but basically switched to BSD-2-clause
license.  This would bring us one step nearer to provide a free Ugene
inside Debian.

Well, and BTW, it would help even more if you would try to stop
including code copies of several other projects - but we discussed this
before. :-)

Kind regards

     Andreas.
