Re: MIT + explicit "Don't sell this code."

I believe this is equivalent to the 'no commercial use' clause which violates guideline 6 ('no discrimination against fields of endeavor, like commercial use'). Apart from anything else, inclusion would mean that Debian wouldn't be able to sell DVDs with this package in it.

Hello,

I am wondering if something like this is fit to enter Debian:

There is a web tool written in PHP that I try to package for Debian.
I would like to use Tagify in that project by adding the minified js.

Now the thing is that officially the project is licensed under MIT with a MIT
license file at the root of the project directory
.
However when looking at the header of the distributed files, there is this

/**
* Tagify (v 4.9.8) - tags input component
* By Yair Even-Or
* Don't sell this code. (c)
* https://github.com/yairEO/tagify
*/

So, no mention of MIT and only mention of Don't sell this code.

I filed an issue [2] upstream about this inconsistency.

Could this actually enter a Debian package?

I'm wondering because of the JSON no evil [3] case.

Regards,
Fab
