 I'm not optimistic about this licence being DFSG-free.

Hi,

I was wondering if Debian-legal could offer any insight on this matter.
I searched the mailing list archives, and found no explicit discussion
of this license. The only potentially problematic clauses I see are
those that ensure that the original test modes be preserved.

To my untrained eye this seems to be a variation of The license may
require derived works to carry a different name or version number from
the original software, with the exception that the original test cases
must also be provided, along with the derived works.

Could you please provide me with some official Debian advise on this
matter?

thanks,
Charles

  Description : Unit testing and web testing framework for PHP
 SimpleTest is a testing framework built around test case classes. These
 are written as extensions of base test case classes, each extended with
 methods that actually contain test code.
 .
 These tools are designed for the developer. Tests are written in the
 PHP language itself The advantage of using PHP itself as the testing
 language is that there are no new languages to learn, testing can start
 straight away, and the developer can test any part of the code.
 Basically, all parts that can be accessed by the application code can
 also be accessed by the test code if they are in the same language.
