Expat-like license - DFSG-ok?

[julien...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm interested in packaging UniMath, which has the following specific
license:


UniMath copyright and license
=============================

UniMath consists of the files in the UniMath github repository at
https://github.com/UniMath/UniMath .

UniMath is copyright 2015 by the UniMath Development Team, whose
members are
listed at https://github.com/UniMath/UniMath in the file README.md .

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a
copy of
UniMath, to deal in UniMath without restriction, including without
limitation
the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute,
sublicense, and/or
sell copies of UniMath, and to permit persons to whom UniMath is
furnished to
do so, subject to the following conditions:

* This copyright and license shall be included in all copies or
substantial portions of the Software.


and the last line worries me a little: is it a DFSG-ok license? I
prefer asking around since I'm not really confortable with it.

Thanks,

J.Puydt

Hi,

Looks OK for me, Apache 2 license also requires NOTICE file to be included in all copies if exists and there is no other restrictions.

Cheers,
Yadd

The requirement to include copyright and license info is in many
DFSG-free licenses, including the MIT, BSD and GPL licenses.
