This is fine with me. To acknowedge your terms explicily,
|
|
|
573225c |
how about augmenting the permission to read something like
|
|
|
573225c |
the following --
|
|
|

|
|
|

This software is derived from the Cephes Math Library. It is
|
|
|
573225c |
incorporated herein, and licensed in accordance with DFSG,
|
|
|
573225c |
by permission of the author.

If you are trying to get me to suggest a specific form for your
|
|
|
573225c |
license, then from looking at Debian programs such as dpkg it seems to
|
|
|
573225c |
me that you would find the GPL to be appropriate and the permission
|
|
|
573225c |
statement could reference one of the GPL documents instead of DFSG.
|
|
|
573225c |
Alternatively, the packages you have been talking about distributing
|
|
|
573225c |
with Debian presumably come with some sort of licenses and it would
|
|
|
573225c |
make sense to propose those licenses.
