Again I don't remember the details, but this looks suspect:
3. "Altered versions ... must be plainly marked as such"
it would appear to violate the "Derived Works" clause in the Debian Free
Software Guidelines (http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines):
3.Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow
them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the
original software.
GNU does incorporate some non-GPL software. I don't know if Info-ZIP
would be acceptable, however.
