Hi

Cuneiform has been accepted into Debian. It is in unstable now. This
probably means that it will make it into the next Ubuntu release.
Thanks to Daniel Baumann for packaging it. Those interested can check
out the package page here:

http://packages.qa.debian.org/c/cuneiform.html

The reason it is in non-free even though Cuneiform is BSD licensed is
that Debian insists on having the source for absolutely everything.
The data files that Cuneiform uses are considered non-free, because
they are just binary blobs. This is unfortunate, but at least CF has
made it into Debian.
