Hello,

I'd like to package VeraCrypt [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com]. It's license is MS-PL [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/license] but based on TrueCrypt license [https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=VeraCrypt%20License].

I've requested [https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/282383] maintenance for https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/security:privacy:veracrypt and got told to ask/discuss it here.

I think some people may miss a software to open "TrueCrypts Volumes" and its features. Up to openSUSE 13.1 there has been the realcrypt package for this purpose. I don't know why realcrypt isn't longer available. Maybe it was only a renamed package with TrueCrypt sources and became insecure.

VeraCrypt is a successor of TrueCrypt with many fixes and more secure cryptology.

So what do you think?

I know the TrueCrypt license is too restricted to become an FSF free software license. So is it possible to bundle the package with openSUSE? In security:privacy:veracrypt? Or in openSUSE:Factory:NonFree?
