This permission is sufficient to get SELFHTML into non-free. Since it is specific to Debian, it can't go into main. I got a rough translation of the license from Babel, and it seems like there is some restriction on modifications. I can't tell for sure, but that might also keep it out of main. It isn't a problem for non-free. The wording on the exception should be fine. Regards, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED]
