Please re-read this message:
| debian-legal has adjudged the QPL non-free, and the maintainer refuses
| to move this package to non-free; therefore, I am requesting its

| discussion [0].

Where does it tell that we do copyright infringments? So, please don't
exaggerate.

Well, than perhaps the requester should provide this information, and
not speaking about a particular license being non-free (and in
reality, there is still ongoing discussion).



Cheers,
Andi
