Package: xpaint
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.1.1

Hi maintainer,

Some of the xpaint files fall under the following license [0] clause:

"
Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose and without fee is hereby granted.
"

IOW, because the "and" the permission is only valid when you don't apply
any fee, thus forbidding effectively selling any Debian CD with xpaint (for
example).

I'd suggest contacting upstream and try they reword this paragraph into
something like "... for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted".

regards,
