PPA for source-available project

 

Hi,

I'm wondering if we could use a PPA for distributing an upcoming
project according to [1].

The project is a developer productivity tool and it would be great if
we could make it easily available for Ubuntu users from the first day
for multiple architectures and releases. The .debs are less than 1MB
per architecture.

The license [2] allows modification, redistribution and redistribution
of the modified variants as well.  However it is not free to use for
commercial purposes.

We aim to get it accepted to Debian (non-free) and Ubuntu
(multiverse), thus in the long term the PPA could serve backported
versions.

Thanks in advance,
Balint
