Question about licence compatibility
X-Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-MailScanner-From: gmelis@mfa.gr

licenses, which I include herein. In first reading I cannot see any real
discrepancies, but of course IANAL. Pls tell me if any of them is compatible
with DFSG.
