Hi, 
(and sorry, the thread may be messed up - i used the archive to reply)

Austin contacted me yesterday about these manpages, i prefer to reply here to 
make things clear to everybody.

I thought the Debian wine package maintainer back in the time would ask for
inclusion of the user-contributed manpages in the upstream source, like it's
usually done :-/ 

About Licensing (i hate this...)

As long as the AUTHORS section of the manpages i wrote mentions their origins
and that modified versions are marked as such, do what you want - it usually
causes no problems with GPL software (see for example:
http://linux.die.net/man/1/lftpget) so it shouldn't for LGPL :)

Cheers,
