Re: [gNewSense-users] Bug (non-free software)

[Peter Rock]

Sorry yes near the bottom of the file. here is the text I'm concerned about...

===============================================================================
NON-FREE:

The following programs have restrictions on their use or source:

hpcdtoppm package:
==================
hpcdtoppm pcdindex

*  Copyright (c) 1992, 1993, 1994 by Hadmut Danisch (address@hidden).
*  Permission to use and distribute this software and its
*  documentation for noncommercial use and without fee is hereby granted,
*  provided that the above copyright notice appear in all copies and that
*  both that copyright notice and this permission notice appear in
*  supporting documentation. It is not allowed to sell this software in
*  any way. This software is not public domain.
--------------------------

Above this is a heading stating programs in the package that were not
included due to patent issues. But then there is a clear break and
this text comes up. So I'm not sure if this means hpcdtoppm is or
isn't included.
