Hrm, must've been a different license to the one that I saw then. (I can't
imagine anyone uploading that license to NEW anyway, so...)
In any event, I don't see any major problem working with upstream to
get a license that's acceptable for non-free for things like the Jdk
and Acrobat. Unless Debian decides that we don't want non-free stuff,
or to ever give non-free software authors anything to be happy about.
Cheers,
