Hi! I did read /usr/share/doc/beneath-a-steel-sky/copyright Even though the license is certainly sub-optimal and not recommendable, I cannot spot any really non-free term in it. Could you please clarify which DFSG you think are not met by this license? On the other hand, my doubts about the DFSG-freeness of beneath-a-steel-sky are not due to its license, but instead to the actual availability of its source code. I raised these doubts in http://bugs.debian.org/322620#67 Moreover, an interesting discussion about another beneath-a-steel-sky DFSG-freeness issue is currently ongoing on debian-legal: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2008/05/msg00001.html Please note that I am *not* the maintainer of beneath-a-steel-sky. I've just noticed this bug report and thought I should express my own personal opinion.
