Hi Team,

I regret to inform you that Debian freeze started at 23:59 UTC on the
5th of November 2014 [0] and this package was considered not situable
for release and will not be included in the next release (Debian
8.0/jessie).

I guess there is still a chance to get the package included if we fix
this bug and an 'unblock' petition is accepted by the Release Team, so
if there is any possibility to get this issue solved, please let me know
ASAP.

Thanks in advance.

I am not familiar with a process like this, but should all contributors
agree with the change?

Hi Team,

Please, if you relicense the package and tag a new version I'll be glad
to upload it ASAP to the Debian repository.

Thanks in advance.

They are all acceptable for me too.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer.

Any of these licenses are acceptable.

Anything I contributed (it's not much) can be relicensed to LGPL, 
BSD or MIT.
