Hello,
I'm currently preparing an updated xMule package and found a statement,
which sounds a bit problematic. But I'm not a lawyer, so I ask you. E.g.
xLibs/DynPrefs/DynamicPreferences.cpp states:

None of these licenses is DFSG-free, the exceptions can't make the
library DFSG-free.
Based on the statements given, I think this library conflicts the DFSG.
