   This subject has already been discussed forever on debian-legal. The
general consensus is that "without fee" does not mean "you may redistri-
bute as long as it is without a fee" but rather "the rights are granted
to you without having to pay a fee to the author".

   See for instance:

   Or search the -legal archives for "without a fee".
