Dear Maintainers, The package fails to build with Java 25[1]. The issue is relatively straightforward to resolve - upgrading to 2026.1.4 is straightforward (import the tarball, refresh patches, and add javafx-swing and javafx-web dependencies). The main obstacle, however, is the licensing concern: the updated d/copyright includes an instance of a non-free license[2], which may not comply with Debian Free Software Guidelines. Can you please advise on the best course of action regarding this package? Best Regards, Vladimir.
