[helix-maintainers] Bug#358754: Last call to prevent Helix beeing removed from Debian

[Daniel Baumann]

Hi,

in December 2005, the Helix Team was informed about the undistributable
code in Helix Player (some code does not have a license at all, and the
dna code which is available separately, is even non-free). Since then,
no action was taken to solve the problem.

With the 1.0.7 release of Helix Player, the Helix Team decided to no
longer ship the source-code (the source tarball contains a src.rpm which
contains binary-only stuff, but no source-code). It can't be optained
via CVS, the respective module is empty (yes, I did login properly).
Although I opened bug #4885 on helixcommunity, there is still no
reaction to that.

Please note, that I have the *right* to get the source-code, I have
downloaded the binary and decided to use it under the GNU General Public
License, so you *must* ship it to me when I ask for it (at least for the
parts which are proper licensed).

This is your last chance - if you don't fix the two issues and/or answer
at latest until Apr, 11 2006 12:00 UTC, I will request the removal of
helix-player from Debian.

For your reference:

  * No source - http://bugs.debian.org/358754

Regards,
Daniel
