On Thu 14. Mai 22:13:48 CEST 2009 autobuilding was requested
by Oliver Korff <ok at xynyx.de> of nonfree at release.debian.net,
this is the mail snippet:
...
I would like to request autobuilding crafty. The licence is strictly non-
free,
but we have the explicit written permission to redistribute of the
upstream
author.
I have had contact with him recently and am convinced that the reason for
making it non-free, is the code abuse in computer chess tournaments as
mentioned in the copyright file.
We also do not alter craftys name or copyright notice, so everything that
matters to the upstream author stays intact. Autobuilding does not
interfere
with that.
