It is OK for Debian, but it is not GPL compatible.  It looks like a
BSD license with a whole lot of disclaimers.  The only tricky part is

  Any use of any FreeUSP program(s) for profit must display the
  following acknowledgement:

  "This product includes software developed by BP America Inc. and its
  contributors."

This makes it GPL-incompatible.
