Subject: O: d4x -- graphical download manager

Date: Sun, 13 Aug 2006 00:40:38 +0100

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the d4x package, because I don't use it anymore, and have
not time to maintain it.

The package description is:
 Downloader for X is a powerful graphical download manager.
 It supports both HTTP(S) and FTP protocols and has nice graphical
 user interface, though some actions can also be performed using
 the command line.
 .
 Among others, its key features include proxy and SOCKS5 support,
 recursive downloading, wildcard matching, download scheduler,
 multiple download queues and more...

Hello,

now I have seen that this package is not fully licensed under the
Artistic license 1.0 (as everybody would thought), but each source 
file have the following header:

/*	WebDownloader for X-Window
 *
 *	Copyright (C) 1999-2002 Koshelev Maxim
 *	This Program is free but not GPL!!! You can't modify it
 *	without agreement with author. You can't distribute modified
 *	program but you can distribute unmodified program.
 *
 *	This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
 *	but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
 *	MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
 */

So all these source files are not really free software in the sense of 
DFSG and I cannot do anything on this package - unfortunately.

Today I have received an answer mail form the author of d4x! And he says 
only: "I think that D4X is not needed anymore" without informations about
licensing.

Now I set this package again 'orphaned'.

My alternative advice: use 'uget' (aka 'urlgfe') or 'aria2'.

Fondest regards,
 Joachim Wiedorn
