If this is true then the file can't be distributed for commercial
purposes and thus fails DFSG #1.

The ftpmasters tell me that although this is a DFSG violation, the
package is still legal to distribute.  Short of a cease-and-desist
notice, woody is pretty much immutable anyway, and Linuxconf didn't
ship with later releases.
