All,

Is the license below acceptable for inclusion into 'non-free'?  It is
claimed to cover the tarsnap software, see
https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap and https://www.tarsnap.com/ for
background.

Regarding RFP/ITP status, there is now a Salsa pipeline building the
Debian package:

https://salsa.debian.org/jas/tarsnap/

It seems to build.  If the license is deemed acceptable for inclusion
into Debian 'non-free' I plan to upload it, closing this old RFP bug.  I
am guessing that the unusual license may have been regarded as a
blocker.
