[Debichem-devel] InChI license

Wed May 30 15:57:06 BST 2018

Hello,

the IUPAC/InChI-Trust InChI Licence of InChI (https://www.inchi-trust.org) is possibly non-DFSG-compatible (https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2018/02/msg00026.html), thus the package might not be suitable for Debian. Nevertheless, the copies of InChI are in Debian already as embedded by packages openbabel and indigo: openbabel v2.3.2 (newest in unstable) has earlier version of the library which is licensed under LGPL, whereas indigo v1.1.12 carries the library with the IUPAC/InChI-Trust InChI Licence. I suggest either reconsidering this license, or eliminating it from Debian altogether.

Best,
Andrius
