this seems free, but there isn't a licence name. In the

there is anything else.
We can contemplate it like free?

thanks,

As a side note, i think someone who installs non-free software (from a 3rd party) can tell that they have done so. the accurate/inacurate ratio in vrms just doesnt work for me. kk > -- Karl Goetz, Debian user / Ubuntu contributor / gNewSense contributor http://www.kgoetz.id.au

Re: starting package verification

Marco, We've already chatted, but just to say, Welcome, well done and thank you! I'm sure you can rely on help from the rest of the gNS community, and if you need to, you can mail me _off-list_.
