I would just like to second what has already been stated in this thread, which is that I don’t see any problems with this license in non-free, with the note that I think this license does preclude the use of anything in debian/patches. Currently, there are no patches in the Salsa repository, so it isn’t a problem. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
