In both name and text the FAL is derived from the AL, but it's not the same
license.

The same file snprintf.c (with minor modifications) is in the liquidwar
package, which discovered ( bug #499317 ):
a) On Linux, the snprintf from libc is used instead.
b) Liquidwar's version is dual-licensed under the GPL and FAL.

I think the license information on this package is needs correction, but only a
"normal" severity bug.
