We must be careful with fprint license. fprint upstream say it's legal
the use he has about NBIS software that he includes into. I've sent a
mail to debian legal [1] and I only have an answer for license, not for
export problems in NBIS software.  Anybody know anything about export
laws in USA?

I've been testing fprint and it works really nice!, It should be a
really good idea to get into Debian. The ITP now is owned by Fingerfore
list mail [2]. I didn't upload yet to svn because I have big doubts
about legal distribution of NBIS code.

On the other hand, Radek Bartoň
<https://alioth.debian.org/users/blackhex2-guest/> is doing a really
good work on fvs, improving it. It's working in fingerforce alioth svn,
so we can see the changes. If It was not possible distribute NBIS
software, we always could use fvs to substitute it.
