[Bug 72518] Re: Include aiccu in multiverse

[Richard Johnson]

Jeroen,

First I apologize for finger-fumbling your name. I did not know that the
"Current" or the 2005xxxx version was in fact wrong. The version I used
to create a debdiff was from "YOUR" website. I noted that in the debdiff
it adds your license back in. This debdiff has created a "patch" file to
patch the 2005xxxx release that is currently in the repos and makes it
the same as the 2007xxxx version that is currently available.

Also note that this debdiff also includes the correct changelog as
provided by the 2007xxxx.tar.gz file I downloaded from your website.

What Ubuntu has done in the past was not done by me, so I can't tell you
word for word what their Policy on the Licensing is, as that is up for
the "higher-ups" to work out. All I did was create a debdiff from the
current version in the repositories against the version available from
your website.

As for my answer of saving space as non-sense, hey you are more than
welcome to be entitled to your opinions. Referencing the package may be
simple, but me downloading the package and creating a debdiff for the
developers to just then upload is even easier. No need to be a middle
man if I am able to do the work needed in order help out.

I know you may be upset, but just note that Malone, the Ubuntu Bug
Tracker, is not the place to voice your rants. It would be easier to be
worked out by (a)emailing myself since I created the debdiff and working
out, (b)emailing one of the many developement lists or MOTU list for a
solution, or (c) don't rant, but instead copy and paste the last half of
your post here as "hey this is how it should be."

Also note, that you can also provide the fix as well, attach it here and
move on.

Thank you.
