I was wondering if the license developed by IBM for its developerWorks
site, named the Common Public License
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/license-cpl.html)
is DFSG compliant.

If I read it it seems OK form me but I do get lost in the legalese...

The reason for this question is that IBM provides a PKCS#11 implementacion
(read
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/security/library/s-pkcs/?dwzone=security)
which seems quite interesting and could be packaged for Debian...

	Regards
