It is clearly a GPL deriviation, and no fatal mistakes seem to have been committed in the deriviation. Note however, that a "you must change the name of modified versions" clause is not unproblematic, though they are usually considered DFSG-free. They make it difficult for Debian to react appropriately with a situation where a critical security problem is discovered with the package. If the upstream maintainer is unavailable (such as if he's on vacation, has died, or has grown uninterested in the program), such a clause makes it illegal to release a fixed package under the same name. Changing the name means that already-installed unsafe packages will not be automatically unsafe, so the only secure course of action would be to "update" the unsafe package with an *empty* package. -- Henning Makholm "I Gudfaders navn og sønnens og den hellige ånds! Bevar os for djævelens værk og for Muhammeds, den forbandedes, underfundigheder! Med dig står det værre til end med nogen anden, thi at lytte til Muhammed er det værste af alt."
