But please read the whole copyright text in all.

It looks like the license which does not permit modification applies to the specification, so the specification is not DFSG-free. As for pkcs11.h, I can't see any statement that it is under any license at all, never mind a DFSG-free license. So the bug severity would seem to be correct. -- Sean Whitton
