I have been meaning to take the time to review the actual files in question, but given that I haven’t been able to do so and Don has, I would just like to state that I agree with his assessment. Assuming he is correct about LICENSE.TERMS applying to these files, and I have no reason to believe it doesn’t unless somewhere they are listed as excluded, then this license makes our distribution of these files DFSG-free. It doesn’t really matter that their header says they would not be DFSG-free if LICENSE.TERMS didn’t exist. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
