WTEST license conditions
Please, would you tell me what you think about the conditions on wtest
(http://www.interlog.com/~bibhas/wtest/WTEST.html).
In the README to wtest, there is:
COPYRIGHT
This software adheres to the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.
You can re-use portions of this software and create a modified
version of the software only if the resultant work also adheres to
GPL.
COST
The software is free for non-commercial use.
If you decide to use this software to test a commercial web site
please send a mail to bibhas@interlog.com.
That's all about the license terms, the actual (C++) source files
don't have a note on the author, nor a license plate nor a copyright
line.
I don't grok the implications of the second section, "COST". To my
understanding, licensing a work under the GPL implies acquiring the
right to use the software for whatever task without having to pay a
fee, be the use commercial or not.
>From your understanding: Would we be allowed to include this piece in
Debian (i.e. is it DFSG free) or is not not ?
