Version : 1.58
Upstream Author : HIROSE Yuuji [yu...@gentei.org]

* License : original
This software is distributed as a free software without any
warranty to anything as a result of using this. Especially, I
am not responsible for the case when you cite your friend's mail
with a silly citation prefix in a serious situation :)
* Can I incorporate this program into Debian package?
Yes.
Upstream's agreement neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for
a piece of software to be included in Debian. First of all, it needs to
have a clear, DFSG-free license attached...
This "Yes" is NOT a special answer only for Debian.
My recognition on `free software' is not the permanently
constant notion. Therefore I won't define the fixed license
sentences at any moment of my life.
...which upstream refuses to provide.
All I can say now is I hope
the free software be; freely usable, freely (re-)distributable
without any charge for itself, freely modifiable unless the
original author(=me)'s copyrights are infringed or neglected,
absolutely not responsible to any result from itself. If there
is A license clauses which implies these points above in some
era, this software can be classified into the group that the
clauses want to assume as `free'.
This wording is far too vague. Please bug upstream to use a well-known
license.
