Hello *,
I'm packaging wicd for Debian, and it's licensed under GPL-2+. However, one of
its components ("uninstall.sh") carries this license:

"Redistribution [..] with or without modification, is permitted" seems
a "free" (as in speech) statement, but that "All rights reserved" scaries me...
Any idea on this?
Thanks,
David
