Short explanation:

This page lists programs which are useful to the field of imaging and microscopy.

Most column names are self-explanatory. When a licence is listed as "Academic", it means that the program is only free of charge for academic, non-profit research, which makes non-compliant to the DebianFreeSoftwareGuidelines. "Packaging" gives cues about the difficulty of the packaging, or indicates that the program has already been packaged. "Importance" gives cues about what to package first. That is why programs already packaged have nothing written there: it does not mean that they are not important!. "Listed on... " records whether the program is listed on the official DebianMed website.
