How could a package under such a license be distributed by the Debian
Project without even a little check with debian-legal?
Does anyone think that this license is (trivially) suitable for
non-free?
I certainly don't.
I'm really disappointed: what's the use of spending time on
debian-legal, when the Project seems to ignore us?
