• Bug#37950: ytalk: licence is odd

    I'll copy him, but I doubt that the mail address is still functional.
    (This program was written 1993 anyway.)

    Unrouteable address.

    A brief google search shows that there is a Britt Yenne with a homepage
    of <URL:http://www.jump.net/~syenne/pilot/>, and an email address of [email protected]

    who is a software developer, and lives in Texas. Not unlike the original author. Might be worth a try?

    Hi there.

    This message is related to http://bugs.debian.org/37950 -- a ``problem''
    with ytalk's license. If you are the Britt Yenne who coded the original
    ytalk, please take a look at it, thank you.

    Yes, www.yenne.net/britt is obviously his homepage, you are right.
    His directory entry at the FSF states ``Licensed under an X11-style
    license.'' (http://directory.fsf.org/livecomm/chat/ytalk.html)

    The homepage of its last maintainer states: (http://www.iagora.com/~espel/ytalk/ytalk.html)
    YTalk is free software; it can be freely used, copied, redistributed,
    and/or modified, as long as all the copyright notices are left intact.

    I'll close the bug in a week if nobody cries.

    Regards,
    Philipp Kern
    Maintainer of the Debian ytalk package
