[Debian-med-packaging] Question about the license of FastQTL for integration into Debian

[Olivier Delaneau]

Dear Dylan,

Thank you for packaging FastQTL, this is really cool! Concerning the
copyright, it got in there because of imagemagick I think. The png was
generated with ghostscript so I think there is no copyright.

Cheers,
