I'm not sure I can parse your last sentence, but I don't think the license is DFSG-compliant yet: | Redistribution of this release is permitted as follows, or by mutual | agreement: | (a) In free-of-charge or at-cost distributions by non-profit concerns; | (b) In free-of-charge distributions by for-profit concerns; | (c) Inclusion in a CD-ROM collection of free-of-charge, shareware, or | non-proprietary software for which a fee may be charged for the | packaged distribution. This does not allow, say, selling a linux distribution including pine on disks (I know of at least one vendor who sells debian stored on IDE hard disks instead of CD-rom sets, which they should be allowed to be continued). -- Henning Makholm
