Err, did you not read? I said the core of the effort was the
presentation; and the license I used obviously had to be
compatible. Proceeding to dot the i's and cross the t's, the project
can grow, and be incorporated into Debian, no matter which DFSG free
license Colin had selected; since my work was based on his, obviously
my license had to be compatible.
The point is this: had the original license not been free,
none of the rest would have grown up to potentially be included in
Debian -- and thus the fact that the original license was free was
critical.
