[openstack-dev] Fwd: python-django-bootstrap-form_3.0-1_amd64.changes REJECTED

The github repo has a three clause BSD license file:

https://github.com/tzangms/django-bootstrap-form

Not sure if that satisfies ftpmaster's needs. The lack of BSD license at
the top of the file I would be happy to submit a pull request for if
that would help.
