I contacted upstream and they agree to change the license to a permissive
license like BSD or MIT/Expat. \o/

One question which I want to forward from upstream to debian-legal as we are
all no native english speakers:

The expat license states:

Permission is hereby granted, [...], to deal in the Software without
restriction [...]

What does "to deal in the Software" mean in this context? Does it mean "to
trade"?
