What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blocks| |182235(FE-Legal)
--- Comment #2 from Jason Tibbitts tibbs@math.uh.edu 2009-09-17 16:52:47 EDT --- I believe ConvertUTF.c is potentially non-free, as it only permits use "in the creation of products supporting the Unicode Standard" which sounds like a use restriction. Blocking FE-Legal for an opinion.
Do note that ytnef is already in the distro. Perhaps it doesn't do what you need, but if this turns out to be non-free then it may have to do.
