Bug Description

Hi MOTU developers.

This bug report is copy of Debian Bug#591731,
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591731

Summary:
 * mozc is included dictionary file that based "ipadic"
 * "ipadic" has recasted-ICOT Free Software license.
 * recasted-ICOT Free Software license is DFSG non-free. (see also: Debian Bug#220358)
 * mozc is not DFSG free. It must remove from debian/main.
  see also: http://code.google.com/p/mozc/issues/detail?id=20

So, we assume obligation for this bug.

However,
 - Nobuhiro Iwamatsu(mozc's Debian developer) said, he will upload Debian/nonfree in near feature.
 - mozc is useful IMengine for Japanese users. IMHO, mozc is better than anthy.
 - mozc is DFSG nonfree, but, that is enough to "Free Software"... It seems like firefox/iceweasel problems.
 - it is still acceptable for our multiverse, possibly acceptable for universe.

Now, therefore, I suggest that mozc displacement to ubuntu/multiverse from universe in maverick archives.

Could you please handling it?
