[GAP Forum] Important news for users and installers of GRAPE: [DEBIAN]

[z060822400814a at rezozer.net]

Hello Forum:

GRAPE is now available as Debian package (DFSG-free) [1].
Note that the nauty Debian package has migrated from non-free to main (DFSG-free) [2]
as nauty is now distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Thanks,
Jerome
