It links to the English version on this terms:

Copyleft : This work is free, you can copy, spread, and modify it under
the terms of the Free Art License http://artlibre.org/licence/lal/en/

but according to the License FAQ, it's is under French right and valid
in countries that signed the Berne Convention for the Protection of
Literary and Artistic Works.

Actually, the website itself is not packaged, so it doesn't need to
comply with the DFSG (well, where would the Debian Logo go? ;-), but the
question remains to include Kalle's design in a package like
installation-guide.

Kalle, would it be OK for you to publish your design under a double
license (e.g. Free Art License 1.3 and GPL if this is possible)?

Regards

David
