I cannot find anything about the licensing. The executable only shows $Info: This file is packed with the UPX executable packer http://upx.tsx.org $ $Id: UPX 1.01 Copyright (C) 1996-2000 the UPX Team. All Rights Reserved. $ However I found http://upx.sourceforge.net/. - Maybe the binary can be updated to the SF version? - Add the upx license to the Lib/distutils/command directory? [Debian only: The UPX license itself is discussed at http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2001/01/msg00025.html upx-nrv is currently in section non-free/utils, so it's better not to distribute it in the Debian package. ]
