Re: What's happened to PSPP?

[Friedrich Beckmann]

Hi Roy,

i guess this is related to a licensing problem which resulted in pspp being 
dropped in debian. During that time Ubuntu started a new distribution focal 
where pspp was then missing. I resolved the licensing issue so pspp is now back 
but not in Focal. 

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-pspp/2020-05/msg00004.html

I guess Linux Mint then copied from Ubuntu Focal and therefore it is also 
missing in Mint. 

Cheers

Fritz
