A quick glance at the copyright file shows that a case could be made for
DFSG freeness of c3270 and s3270, and perhaps x3270 without fonts. In any

True. Still, I would not have a huge problem with having to ./configure;
make; make install x3270. Nor with adding a line to my sources.list to get
it from somewhere else.
