[Python-modules-team] Bug#629278: ITP: python-sphinx-aafig -- Embedded ASCII art figures in Sphinx documentations

[Nicolas CANIART]

Hi,

  So is BOLA a DFSG compliant license or not ? Who is to decide ?
  If not, what should be done with BOLA licensed software packages in main ?
  If it is, again, I am still looking for a sponsor. Package files are
here: http://caniart.nicolas.free.fr/debian/

Thanks,
Nicolas.
