Re: [Savannah-hackers] savannah.gnu.org: submission of Vacation Mail Responder

[Loic Dachary]

        Hi,

        Unless I'm mistaken, vacation has two licences (GNU GPL for
manual pages + original BSD for code).  However, the original BSD
license (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD) is
incompatible with the GNU GPL. One could use the modified BSD
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD) instead.

        Could you clarify this and submit the project again with
accurate license information ? Is there a way for you to switch to the
Modified BSD license ? That would ease interoperability.

        Cheers,
