Is the python-sybase licence DFSG free?
Hello
I am looking at the python-sybase software
(http://python-sybase.sourceforge.net) and it isn't packaged yet in
Debian. So I had a look at the licence to see if it is possible to
package. I think it is, I am however no expert at this so am asking
some advice. The licence is fairly short so I'll quote it here:

Any thoughts if this looks fine?
Cheers
