[Pkg-ace-devel] Bug#697848: NMU of ace ?

[Johnny Willemsen]

Hi,

For the AW license, I would recommend to check that on the regular ACE 
mailing list, the files where added by Doug Schmidt himself.

Theoretically TAO_IDL can be replaced at some point by ridlc as new IDL 
compiler which doesn't have this license problem, but probably that is 6 
months of work.
