Hi Tomasz:
I am referring to the page below.
http://bourbon.usc.edu/tgif/download.html
he calls it free-of-charge butit is a license which was qualified as
acceptable when tgif was first put in the archive, before I adopted it.
If it is now not acceptable, perhaps it would be a good idea to discuss it
with the author who, in my experience, has been very willing to accomodate
my requests.

Hi Carlo,
I'm trying to fix https://bugs.debian.org/768690 and
I stumbled upon this bug. It seems to me that Mejiko
is actually right - even debian/copyright mentions that
code is under QPL. What is this "DFSG compatible license"
that you are talking about?
Cheers,
Tomasz

I beg to differ. There are two different versions of tgif. One is
licensed QPL and the other have a DFSG compatible license. The Debian
package has been built from the non-QPL licensed code and non-DFSG bits
have been removed with the cooperation of the upstream author.
It has been so for more than a decade and therefore will stay in main.

Hello.
Tgif license is "Q Public License" version 1.0 .
This license is not DFSG-Free. (e.g libcwd)
Suggests:
1. Tgif move to non-free.
2. remove Tgif.
Thanks.
