Hi all!
Please Cc: me, I'm not subscribed to the list and I'm posting from Gmane.
The Debian package for Hunchentoot lacks three files because of licensing issues:
- doc/hunchentoot.gif (as well as test/favicon.ico), because CC Attribution-ShareAlike (CC-by-sa) is considered non-free by Debian (see http://people.debian.org/~evan/ccsummary.html)
FWIW, version 3.0 of the same license would be acceptable:
http://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses
- test/fz.jpg, since it misses any license bits
I didn't write to ask for a license change, but to inform you that the included patches have been applied to the Debian package to cope with these two problems:
- 01_replace-nonfree-logo-in-documentation.patch, the logo have been replaced by the word "[logo]" to preserve the link in doc/index.html
- 02_remove-nonfree-favicon-from-test-file.patch, any reference to the favicon has been simply removed
- 03_replace-Frank-Zappa-picture-in-test-file.patch, fz.jpg has been replaced by the Debian swirl logo (which should be present in all Debian installations).
FWIW, the Debian package is maintained in a git repository at:
http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-common-lisp/hunchentoot.git;a=summary
Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca

Still valid :-)

After my post, Uwe von Loh relicensed the Hunchentoot logo under CC-by-sa 3.0 US, which means that now Debian can distribute it as well. Many thanks to Uwe!

For the reason above, these two patches are no more included in the Debian package, which is actually waiting in the Debian NEW queue [1] because of the name change for the binary package [2].
