It seems that license fails the DFSG, because § 1.E.8. imposes restrictions on charging a fee for distribution which contradicts DFSG § 1. > I meet a package that includes a file[2] licensed under it. > The content of this file is a public domain work, but it's produced by > project Gutenberg[3]. Should I exclude this file? Either that, or remove all references to Project Gutenberg from it as mentioned in § 1.C. of their license. Sending a patch to upstream which does the latter would be useful, but until they incorporate it you will have to repack the upstream tarball. > [1] http://gutenberg.net/license > [2] > https://github.com/biogo/hts/blob/master/bgzf/testdata/Mark.Twain-Tom.Sawyer.txt > [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Gutenberg Cheers, Sven
