8. License Must Not Be Specific to Debian
The rights attached to the program must not depend on the
program's being part of a Debian system. If the program is
extracted from Debian and used or distributed without Debian but
otherwise within the terms of the program's license, all parties
to whom the program is redistributed should have the same rights
as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system.
