Dear Olivier Delaneau,
I'm contacting you on behalf of the Debian Med team, a group within
the Debian project that aims to make it the best computing platform
for biology and medicine [1].

I have recently created a package to integrate FastQTL in the Debian
official repository [2] but it was rejected [3] for a problem about
the license of the file FastQTL/doc/img/fastqtl_checks.jpg for which
metainfo include a copyright to "Artifex Software 2011".

Could you please confirm that "Artifex Software" have really a
copyright on this file and what is the license of this file? In the
opposite case, could you confirm that this file is under the same
license as FastQTL?

Merci d'avance.

Best regards,
Dylan
