Hi Steffen,
although advertisement clauses are problematic because they cause overlooked
incompatibilities with copyleft licences and they are easy to infringe, they
are accepted in the main section of the Debian archive. This was recently
confirmed by Russ Albery in an unrelated discussion on debian-mentors@l.d.o:
http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/877hxf7xms.fsf@windlord.stanford.edu
I have missed the reason why the expiration of clauses 1 and 2 could have been
cancelled a posteriori. Without these clauses, Torque could go in Main.
Interestingly, Fedora considers OpenPBS as free, see:
