Hi Debian-legal.
We (gNewSense) just had someone report [3] two clauses in the krb5 (source)
package. [1] has its current (Sid) copyright file.
I dont see a bug about it, so i'm asking if someone could look at the licence
and say if they think the clauses are DFSG free or not?
Thanks in advance,

Hello,
I'm sorry, I forgot to ask about other concerns that myself and
another member of the Debian Games team had.
You should have been more clear that you were concerned not about freeness,
but about the ability t

Hi,
I am concerned about the following license snippet, basically point 3 which
talk about use of authors' name.
This comes from a source included in conduit (version 0.3.6, not yet
uploaded)

Just curious, e.g., dreamhost.com modifies Debian .debs to produce
their hosting environment, which we Dreamhost users then use on our
shell accounts there.
If I can do
$ cat file
then I should always also be able to cat the source (.deb) to that
same cat, no? (I can at present.)
Yes I read that

Argh!
Are you right. I had a feeling that I had read that before, but tonight I
was in the mood that this was imposing a clause that might cause a license
problem, and as it was not stating in any other place that it is a BSD
license, I didn't realized.
Thanks
