I'm guessing because I am interested in Debian packaging? Indeed Physics in Debian would be nice! According to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ZLib">https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ZLib</a> : "License of ZLib (#ZLib): This is a free software license, and compatible with the GPL." <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:20170613225541.GC16503@us.netrek.org"> <pre wrap=""> Also; - Physics has both COPYING and LICENSE with whitespace changes only, which are GPLv3+; which should it be? </pre> </blockquote> If the contents is the same, either one? <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:20170613225541.GC16503@us.netrek.org"> <pre wrap="">- Physics/lib has LICENSE which is zlib, - Physics git, .tar.bz2 and .xo include lib/ binaries of pybox2d, - no documentation for building, except in a commit [3], I've also a local dfsg branch which changes imports and removes lib/ to have dist_source write Physics-32.1~dfsg.tar.bz2 which can be imported by git-buildpackage. If there is any other interest, I can push this branch and tag v32.1~dfsg, though the toolkit does not like text in version numbers. Might this be fixed?</pre> </blockquote> I don't understand what you mean with your last question. For sure there's interest in having a Debian-Free-Software-Guidelines-complying source to hopefully have Debian distribute this activity. If you could push this branch then it would be a good first step, then we could work together with pkg-sugar Team to upload it. Physics should be among the desired activities for Sugar Blend <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://wiki.debian.org/SugarBlend/Huayruro">Huayruro</a> project, not sure why it's not listed. <blockquote type="cite" cite="mid:20170613225541.GC16503@us.netrek.org"> <pre wrap=""> References: 1. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/physics">https://github.com/sugarlabs/physics</a> 2. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/pybox2d/pybox2d">https://github.com/pybox2d/pybox2d</a> 3. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/sugarlabs/physics/commit/bf4640fd7bd5f29be6afec288ae326b3f5398a97">https://github.com/sugarlabs/physics/commit/bf4640fd7bd5f29be6afec288ae326b3f5398a97</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
