Robert Millan <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: FreeSETI
System name: freeseti
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The purpose of this project is to maintain a free client for the address@hidden 
distributed computing effort. For details on address@hidden see 
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/.

As explained here (http://www.canonical.org/setiathome/), the address@hidden 
official client was released under a GPL license at first, but the authors 
decided to switch to a propietary licensing. The latest free release of 
address@hidden can be found here 
(http://www.canonical.org/setiathome/sh_unix_1_6.tar.gz), but due to protocol 
changes it\'s not currently a usable release. So, this project aims to update 
the protocol code to what the address@hidden server expects, so that 
address@hidden users have the option of using a free version.

I don\'t have explicit permission from the authors to do this, but the GPL 
license should grant me the right to do so. I\'d appreciate any advice on this 
matter.
