Re: [gNewSense-users] Package license wording query

[Chris Andrew]

Jay,

A quick look at your section would indicate that it is 100% free, well done!

We have the URL to the Ubuntu repo, so that we can check licences.
Our own (gNS) repo has its own package list, and it looks like you've
about completed that section.

Anyone care to take on Main libxj-libxz

Cheers,

Chris.
