Bug#675762: I don't see the license violation here
Most of the files in DJB's original tarball are marked "public
domain". There seems no doubt to me that DJB has in that way given
permission to do anything to the files.
Were anyone else to write "You may distribute unmodified copies of the
cdb package", it would be natural to assume that they intend that you
may not distribute modified copies. But DJB is a man who is
exceptionally careful with his wordings in such cases. He writes
EXACTLY what he means. And as he does not actually forbid
distribution of modified copies, he has not contradicted his public
domain comments.
