==YaST4Debian==
The change of license of YaST from a previous rather restrictive license to the GPL in 2004 made it possible to port YaST to other Linux distributions.<ref name="YaSTGPL"/>
As a consequence of this, the project ''YaST4Debian'' was launched, which worked on a port of YaST to [[Debian]].{{Citation needed|date=November 2023}}

The project, which was in contact with the YaST team of Novell/SuSE, reached some important milestones, such as the port of the modules ''yast2-ncurses'' and ''yast2-qt''.<ref>[http://yast4debian.alioth.debian.org/modules-status.html yast4debian.alioth.debian.org] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304064259/http://yast4debian.alioth.debian.org/modules-status.html |date=2016-03-04 }} YaST4Debian project status</ref> Currently, the project is dormant, searching for a new voluntary project maintainer.<ref>[http://yast4debian.alioth.debian.org/ yast4debian.alioth.debian.org] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304085415/http://yast4debian.alioth.debian.org/ |date=2016-03-04 }} YaST4Debian project website</ref>
