I personally agree with this interpretation. In fact, it seems that d4x has a new website now http://www.d4x.net/ and a new maintainer, Arnaud Granal. Googling around a bit I *might* have found an email address for him, and I'm BCc-ing him in this mail. Arnaud, if you can read us, the point is to understand the actual license of d4x. It seems to us that it is actually under the Artistic license, but at the same time that the header in the various source files do not properly summarize that. The full history of this discussion can be found at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569648 If you are still active on this project, it would be nice if you can release it by changing the affected headers (all under main/, AFAICT).
