This package was Debianized by Roberto Lumbreras on Sun, 02 Mar 2008 17:16:08 +0100 It was downloaded from http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/geotrans/ The package GEOTRANZ is derived from GEOTRANS: "The product was developed using GEOTRANS, a product of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and U.S. Army Engineering Research and Development Center." "Do not use the name GEOTRANS for any derived work." Debian modifications are the following: add makefiles to compile it with openjdk; modify some icons so they have a transparent background; use x-www-browser to lunch help instead of netscape; modify directory where help files are; add missing includes in C files to fix implicit declaration warnings. Debian package GEOTRANZ is DFSG free because: -Everyone is allowed to use and distribute the software (see terms of use). -Everyone is allowed to modify the software "develop derivative works" (see terms of use). -Everyone is allowed to make and distribute derived works if the "GEOTRANS" name is not used. (see terms of use and clarification mail from authors). -The package is compiled with and depends on free packages only (thanks to openjdk).
