This is a GPL-incompatible, copyleft, DFSG-free license. In other
respects it is a MIT clone, not a BSD one; this is essentially a
copyleft MIT license.

So basically, it's DFSG-compliant and can be safely included in
'main', right?

Oh, and as a general note: DON'T WRITE LICENSES LIKE THIS, YOU BASTARDS.

Use the GPL if you want copyleft. Carving out small incompatible areas
of free software is not productive.

The upstream seems to dislike GPL for unknown reasons. Another
peace of software from the same author (python-gtk2-doc) is
licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License...

Thanks a lot for the review.

Cheers,
