I agree that this restriction does *not* fail the DFSG, but, as said elsewhere in this same thread, it's silly. It can be easily circumvented, so it's useless.

Yes, I definitely agree that upstream could be suggested to drop such a useless restriction and adopt the plain (unmodified) zlib license. -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html New!
