      Hello Niklas!

   Well, not that much! I guess many original authors would be willing to release   
   their 10-20 year old source code of their little tool or program as GPL or   
   public domain.   
   The problem is to find them under their current mailaddress and approach them   
   in a polite and convincing way. There seems to be some other guy(s) that are   
   doing exactly this: @Amigasourcecodepress on Twitter.

   Having the crashmail source on github is excellent. OTOH, crashmail is already   
   packaged in Debian, so being an Open Source project is a requirement to get   
   released with Debian. ;)   
   Nevertheless a good decision anyways :)

   Well, I considered using crashmail as well and yes, the background of being   
   originally an Amiga program was one of my main considerations about it.   
   Unfortunately I would have needed other tools that are currently not packaged   
   for Debian. Husky OTOH is packaged for Debian by Philipp Giebel, so I went   
   that road.
