The Free Art License was previously discussed on debian-legal[1] and it was concluded that it is a poorly written license and, hence, not a choice I would recommend (even assuming it's a DFSG-free one, which I'm not sure it is...) [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/09/msg00131.html I'm not a big fan of the Design Science License, either, even though it's considered to be an acceptable choice as far as the DFSG are concerned, IIRC. -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html Need to refresh your keyring in a piecewise fashion? .....................................................
