There are various discussions about the status of the CeCILL-C licence v1 (and other CeCILL licences) in the history of this mailing list. It's not listed at https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ but when it last came up on this list, Thibaut Paumard suggested it's fine, LGPL compatible, https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2010/01/msg00064.html Is this still the consensus?
The French scientific computing community have been been quite active, with many packages released under CeCILL licences. If CeCILL-C is an acceptable licence, should it (and the other CeCILLs) be added to https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ ? CeCILL-C v1 itself is http://www.cecill.info/licences/Licence_CeCILL-C_V1-en.html My interest is in MUMPS, http://mumps.enseeiht.fr/ whose latest version is licensed CeCILL-C v1. Thanks, Drew
