I hope no-one minds, but I'd like some smart analysis of this software's licence, so I'm asking debian-legal for their views.

Questions: 1. does s3sync.net mean ServEdge for copyright or is it a distinct person? 2. if so, do we trust that author ferrix has assigned copyright to ServEdge? 3. is the licence any obstacle to meeting DFSG? 4. does this software meet the DFSG?
