Hi, both (hope I guessed the Wikinaut's email correctly)

LICENSING
--------

In recent post it was notified, that agrep might be licenced
under terms that are DFSG[1]-free:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827902

    referring to ISC license[2]
    http://webglimpse.net/sublicensing/licensing.html

I'd like to know whom should I contact about licensing
issues. The ISC license may not be not that well known in
Debian.

Perhaps we could discuss if agrep could be released
alternatively under one of these?

    Refer to official https://spdx.org/licenses

    MIT
    BSD (any)
    GPL

Which looks like being newer. Could you clarify the
situation of how the sources are related?
