XFCE copyright
Currently in Incoming are packages for XFCE, which is covered by a number
of rather vague licenses. I can't tell whether the result is DFSG-free
or not; does it or does it not allow distribution of modified versions?
debian/copyright file follows:
This package was debianized by Kevin Donnelly kdonn@debian.org on
Fri, 12 Mar 1999 18:03:29 -0500.
