Re: Bug#335185: ITP: newmat -- manipulate matrices using standard operations




So it appears that the author is happy about modifications and
redistribution, and probably has it in his own interpretation of
freeware.
..
from the excerpt you provided, i think that text is quite clear already.

I disagree. Where does the author say that you may modify it? I don't think the term

> You can use it in your commercial projects.

can be interpreted as "you are allowed to distribute modifications". It might be his intention, but it's not written down.

I too recommend to ask the author to relicense the package under BSD or LGPL. He should also be asked to put the license in a file called "LICENSE" in the package, not only on the homepage.
