Anish Issac Jacob <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Malayalam Calendar
System name: mcal
Type: GNU

Description:
This project is aimed at providing users a malayalam calendar.



Malayalam calendar is used by Malayalees very often and it often happens that 
people require it.



Malayalam is the commonly spoken language in Kerala and Laskwadeep states in 
Kerala and the actual Malayalam dates are as important to any malayalee as is 
the Gregorian dates for occasions like birth, marriage etc. This calls for the 
need of a malayalam calendar which FAIK does not exist under GPL.



I have hacked on a small version for my personal use back when I was in 2nd 
year of college(arond 3 years back). At that time it only had the ability to 
convert gregorian dates and also based on gregorian dates calculate the 
malayalam date, and also show a calendar for a particular month. Now I am 
imporving it slightly and putting it up so that it is commonly useable by 
everyone. Maybe i will also put in a perl-tk gui if if i get the time. I plan 
do go on with the bundling it into .deb, .rpm and other popular formats too.



I have not put up the source code yet. But I can put it up soon on my geocities 
page.

Other Software Required:
It requires some perl modules. But then that is artistic license i guess. Me 
don't fool around much with legal stuff. I trust RMS and GPL everything i hack 
during freetime :-).
