Description mejiko 2016-08-06 12:33:28 UTC 
Hello.

ntfs-3g included binary blob, and copyright problem.


File List:


<File List start>

"ntfsprogs/boot.c"

<File List end>


[Problem]


1) This file is binary blob, source code is not found.

2) License or Copyright infomation is not find. Who is copyright owner this code ?

3) Copyright or license is unclear. 


It is non-free.
I think that this code is proprietary.


I suggest that resolve copyright and binary blob problem.

Thanks.
