Hi,

I just came accross this mail on debian-kde, this obviously is a
problem, what's the deal with the non-free data in KStars, can it be
worked around, and has anybody got the time to work on separating it
from the app for debian ?

cheers
domi

See #198499 for a full description of the problem with kstars; it
basically boils down to kstars using non-DFSG-free data.

KStars is a part of the much larger source package kdeedu.  It is highly
desirable for kdeedu to stay in main, and so since kstars depends on
non-DFSG data then what I will do is simply get rid of kstars altogether.

As for redoing kstars as a separate standalone non-free or contrib
package:  I don't have time to deal with complex non-DFSG-free licensing
issues right now and so I'm not going to do this myself.  If anyone else
is interested then you're welcome; you can find all the current kstars
debian files in KDE CVS (kdeedu/debian) in the branch KDE_3_1_BRANCH.

Ben.
