If, on contact, his goal is just wide-openness delivered in an eccentric license, then I would recommend the WTFPL v2 located at http://sam.zoy.org/wtfpl/ which basically says you can do anything you want to with the software. Its an eccentric license that is Debian compliant, and wide open. Otherwise, I'd probably point them in the direction of the BSD or zlib licenses, which are wide open as well, but more well known.
If he doesn't want to part with his license, you could also try to ask for him to dual license as a last resort. His license along side a DFSG license, such that person receiving the software can choose either... that may work. If they don't wish to relicense or dual license with a Debian friendly alternative, then yes, reimplementation under a better license. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
