Thank you for taking care to verify Debian users have free software.

That appears to be a custom text by someone who is uncomfortable with
using “software” to refer to non-programs. It is otherwise the same as
the corresponding paragraph from the Expat license text.

My reading of that passage is that “the Materials” refers to “this
software and/or associated documentation files”.

I think they should just use “software” as in the original, because that
term rightly refers to any digitally-encoded information. Either way,
the grant is clearly free-software and DFSG-conformant.

The most natural reading is for Materials to mean "software and/or
associated documentation".  So I think this package is fine.

Hi,

On version 1.4.0 of the duc package a new file
became part of the software. At a first read
I thought it was free. But now I have doubts.

First paragraph:

"Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
 copy of this software and/or associated documentation files (the
 "Materials"), to deal in the Materials without restriction, including
 without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
 distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Materials, and to
 permit persons to whom the Materials are furnished to do so, subject to
 the following conditions:"

It is define "Materials" as the documentation files only ?
