Description Alessandro Barbieri 2017-05-23 08:37:41 UTC

After a quick search with google seems that the torque-2.5 license is free but gpl incompatible.

Debian had torque in free too.

If confirmed, can this license be added to the corresponding license-set?

@Licenses team: Any objections against adding torque to the MISC-FREE group?
