It's worth pointing out here that 1. Debian is not the copyright holder. 2. The copyright holders, in this case the authors of freeradius, saw no problem with it. They'd hardly have written GPL-licensed software that depends on a BSD-licensed package if they did, because the strict intepretation says that their code is undistributable, and obviously they intend to distribute it. regards, tom lane
