1. all code comes from pawn (was small) and was taken in good faith under the
original license - the contents of which are actually included in COPYING
(re-arranged but all there word for word). If the file does nto state any more
copyright/license info, then it would default to the package license as a whole:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/zlib-license.php

2. read it. "This file may be freely used. No warranties of any kind." come on
it does not preclude any usage based on it being commercial or not. i can't
imagine anyone in their right mind would assume anything other than the
intention of it being under the same umbrella as it came with small at the
time. if debian wish to deny because they are too rigid to look at the obvious.

from license.txt in the original small source:

Pawn is distributed under the "zLib/libpng" license, which is reproduced
below:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This software is provided "as-is", without any express or implied warranty.
...

etc.

which matches what is in COPYING (this happens to in fact be the same license -
we just added restrictions which amount to LGPL for open source, or e-mail ware
if not, and the original license does not preclude them).

... so as such it by default comes under the same license details - the intent
is to have just that (src/amx/float.c in the original).

so i would go back to debian with these notes. :)
