Clause c is a bit ambiguous and might require us to explicitly check
that every user agrees with the license, which is very much not
practical for Debian and if it is the case, violates DFSG item 7.
Please ask upstream to switch to a standard, well understood free
software license like the BSD/MIT/Expat licenses.
Is there any reason why you want algol68toc instead of algol68g, which
is already in Debian?
