Why? It's available under the GPL, which is probably how we are
distributing it. (Nope, just went and looked, /usr/doc/lprng/copyright
is the Artistic.) Anyway, both are DFSG free. What's the problem?

(Ah. FYI the phrase "GNU software license for non-commercial use"
can only mean "if you want to distribute it non-commercially, the
GNU software license will probably meet your needs". Likewise
"Artistic...limited commercial..")
