No. (Besides, it's kind of redundant, because on distribution without Debian, the original package's license applies automatically.) Just take the example of a license that explicitly allows the selling of the program in an aggregation but not the program alone. After extracting it from Debian and giving it away to someone else at no cost, #8 requires the receiver to "have the same rights as those that are granted in conjunction with the Debian system", i.e. selling it. bye, Roland
