  • summary changed from Package Xara to Add Xara package (if redistribution permitted).

Now in Debian testing, but non-free:

http://packages.debian.org/testing/graphics/xaralx

Apparently the issue is a non-free library called CDraw. It is due to be released under the GPL, but there is no timetable for that yet, so for the time being Xara LX may not be legally redistributable. I've emailed the upstream developers.

  • summary changed from Add Xara package (if redistribution permitted) to Add Xara package plus licence text.

Got a reply from Xara and they sent the licence text - it's GPL plus the right to redistribute the binary CDraw library. We should put this text in the root directory of the install CD image.

I'm going to include the package in the repo. Please would you attach the licence text to the ticket?
