Actually, the Expat license lacks the final no-advertisement clause:
see <http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt>, which is the official URL
for the Expat license, AFAICT.

Anyway, I would recommend the unmodified Expat license for DEPs, in
order to avoid license proliferation...


P.S.: Other repliers seem to have forgotten to add the requested Cc:s
      I re-added them (anyone who feels out of context is encouraged to
      take a look at the thread on debian-legal web archives...)
