Re: Gwibber rejected from jaunty/universe due to license
I talked with Sebastien just now on IRC.
The LGPL thing is in the packaging (debian/copyright) and was changed
by fta just now.
I'm not sure what seb is seeing for the BSD sources. I grep'd for BSD
and all I could find was the reference to the Spaz twitter client in
the Funkatron README. It just says that Spaz is licensed under a BSD
license, not that we used any of Spaz's code.
So, unless I am blind, the BSD comment is false. Please let me know
if that is not true.
