 * civil-engineering
-**
+  - TW: Is packaging this really worth it? Three .m files with
+    Copyright from 2000 and I fail to see why this is specific to
+    civil engineering?
 
 * database
-**
+  - DESCRIPTION says BSD, but: 
+    licensecheck --recursive --check='.*' database | grep GPL
+    database/src/mysql_filtered.h: GPL (v2) (with incorrect FSF address)
+    
+    Can we actually link GPL2 only code against Octave with GPL3?
 
 * engine
-**
+  - TW: I'm strongly against even considering packaging this. We have
+    enough work without pre-alpha code, that seems to have had its
+    last real change in 2002.
 
+    from doc/README: 
+    What is liboct?  
+    ===============
+    
+    A buggy, poorly written and undocumented library of C functions which
+    *might* allow *some people* to integrate Octave into their F77/C/C++
+    programs.
