I personally agree with this interpretation. In fact, it seems that d4x
has a new website now http://www.d4x.net/ and a new maintainer, Arnaud
Granal. Googling around a bit I *might* have found an email address for
him, and I'm BCc-ing him in this mail.
Arnaud, if you can read us, the point is to understand the actual
license of d4x. It seems to us that it is actually under the Artistic
license, but at the same time that the header in the various source
files do not properly summarize that. The full history of this
discussion can be found at
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=569648
If you are still active on this project, it would be nice if you can
release it by changing the affected headers (all under main/, AFAICT).
TIA,
Cheers.
