+TinyOWS for Debian
+------------------
+
+The licensing of the Open Geospatial Consortium XML schemas and CITE tests is
+problematic in their compatibility with the DFSG.
+
+The Document Notice doesn't allow modifications and is therefor incompatible
+with DFSG#3 Derived Works. The Software Notice requires attribution and
+states that the licensee agrees to its terms by obtaining, using and/or
+copying the work.
+
+The LICESE files accompanying the OGC schemas and WFS CITE tests contains
+only the Document Notice, and that suggests both are covered by its
+restrictive terms. The OGC Legal FAQ explicitly states that the schemas
+are covered by the Software Notice.
+
+http://www.opengeospatial.org/ogc/legalfaq#DTD
+
+TinyOWS includes unmodified OGC schemas, which can be found in the official
+schema repository of the Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc.
+
+http://schemas.opengis.net/
+
+TinyOWS also includes WFS CITE tests.
