IIRC the truecrypt license at http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license does not
meet the Fedora licensing requirements at

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

Marking for legal review.

I'm curious whether using the RealCrypt "fork" would alleviate any of the
issues.  It's pretty much the same situation that spawned iceweasel.

For those who are interested in TrueCrypt licence can look at it here:
http://www.truecrypt.org/legal/license

If the mail Tom sent is on some public mailing list I curious to see it.

Cheers,
Valent.

The email correspondence has been directly with the TrueCrypt upstream. I sent
them another email yesterday, so we seem to be making some progress, albeit,
slowly.

TrueCrypt upstream is no longer communicating on this issue. I'm closing this
ticket out as CANTFIX, and adding it to ForbiddenItems:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems#TrueCrypt

If TrueCrypt were to make major changes to their licensing, then we might be
able to reconsider this, however, given the tone in our communications, I do
not feel this is likely to occur.

since you communicating again it'd be useful if the new license also apply to
the older version (like 4.3a too). some of us still believe it has some reason
to package that version too.
thanks

Their latest release is under their license version 3 - but I don't know if
that is any better. ...
