Hi, I would like to package SLEPc eigenvalue solvers[0] into non-free, the license is below. There is a line "A modified version of the software cannot be redistributed". The debian package can be built without modificating the upstream sources though, so my question is, can it go into non-free? And if not, the upstream authors asked me what words should be added to the license in order for the Debian to be able to distribute it in non-free?
