It appears to be a NEW licence for the debian archive. Only http://freehg.org/u/filipo/corynotes/ seems to be under the licence and for that reason, I'd suggest using one of the common-licenses for your work, especially if you want to upload it to debian. At first glance, software under this licence: + has free redistribution (DFSG 1), + permits derived works (DFSG 3), + does not protect integrity of the author's source (DFSG 4) - note, the licence's author relies on moral rights in the comments on that page, + doesn't discriminate against people (DFSG 5), + doesn't discriminate against fields of endeavour (DFSG 6), + is not specific to debian (DFSG 8), + doesn't contaminate other software (DFSG 9), and * MIGHT include source code (DFSG 2), * MIGHT allow distribution of licence (DFSG 7). What software is being considered?
