What is nice here is that building your library does not depend on
pgplot.
I meant, however more the libs like libast_ems or libast_drama.
And I have a naming issue ("libast" is already used in Debian, for a
"Library of Assorted Spiffy Things"), so I need to choose another name.
"libstarlink-ast" comes to my mind, or do you have a nice acronym for
starlink that I could use as prefix?

Thank you.

Sorry if I sounded a bit rude yesterday. I very much appreciate the
communication with you and acknowledge your efforts to remove the
license issues.
Best regards
