To make this easy, perhaps upstream can move to the clarified artistic
licence. This seems to be about equivelent to the intent of the current
licence, and is gpl-compatible according to the FSF. If it is
Gpl-compatible, then it should be able to meet the DFSG. If for some reason
it does not, it should be possible to 'fix' that, by adding some patches
licenced under the GPL.
Upsteam may rather use clarified artistic, and make the same type of changes
they did to yeild their current licence. That should probably still be gpl,
compatible. If they decide to do this, please have them post the new version
here so we can examine it closely for any accidental GPL incompatibilities.
