The publicity clause is strange, and does indeed go farther than the standard BSD license. I'm not sure if that's actually something that should make it non-free. Evidently, the Debian ftp team haven't ruled on this - despite being discussed on debian-legal, the package is not in the Debian archive, nor in the Debian NEW queue? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
