It does :-)

Anyway as I read that license I know what I can expect from the
maintainability standpoint. *I* choose to use the package in the first
place, *I* take responsibility for it.

Anyway I'll stop here. I think I made my point clear enough from a
user standpoint. 

Maybe as you say the -private archive shows a different light on the
subject, but I have no access to it. Furthermore I have no possibility
to officially express my position as I can't vote, so without new info
there is no point in continued discussion.

Keep up the good work on debian, maybe I'll join soon,
