Hi!

adesklets manual is distributed under the GFDL and thus does not comply
with the DFSG.

See file:///usr/share/doc/adesklets/html/en/index.html :

| This manual is for adesklets (version 0.4.7, 02 April 2005).

|     documentation". A copy of the license is included in the section
|     entitled "GNU Free Documentation License." 

Upstream authors should be contacted and asked to relicense the manual
under a DFSG-free license.
Since the rest of the package is under the GNU GPL, the GPL itself would
the best choice for the manual too: it would make it easier for everyone
to copy and paste material back and forth between program and documentation.

If upstream are not willing to relicense, they may accept to dual-license
under GFDL/GPL, perhaps.

If otherwise a license change is not achievable, the manual should be
purged from the package and (hopefully) replaced by a DFSG-free one.
