-Dear Alistair,
 
-Dean tells me that you also are interested in distributing CMOR as well as CDAT.  CMOR is approved for unrestricted release which is not an official open source license, but from our institution’s perspective we are supportive of it being included in your Debian distribution along with CDAT. I will be happy to work with you to achieve this. Feel free to call me at 925 422 3538 if you would like to discuss it by phone.             All the best, Leah
