After reviewing the copyright file[1] for the package yforth[2] I
thought that it did not qualify as free software.  I contacted the
debian legal list[3] and they informed me that the copyright for yforth
does not meet the DFSG.

I contacted the upstream developer and asked him to consider changing
the software license per the legal recommendation.  However, I wanted to
report this issue in case the developer is unwilling to change the
license for the software.
