LPPL is DFSG compatible but the linstings package has extra
condition which might be not DFSG compliant.
%% However, if you distribute the package as part of a commercial
%% product or if you use the package to prepare a commercial document
%% (books, journals, and so on), I'd like to encourage you to make a
%% donation to the LaTeX3 fund. The size of this `license fee' should
%% depend on the value of the package for your product. For more
%% information about LaTeX see http://www.latex-project.org
%%
%% No matter whether you use the package for a commercial or
%% non-commercial document, please send me a copy of the document (.dvi,
%% .ps, .pdf, hardcopy, etc.) to support further development---it is
%% easier to introduce new features or simplify things if I see how the
%% package is used by other people.
The phrase "please send me a copy of the document ..."
seemed problematic, at least to me.
Because I'm not a native English speaker, I can't understand
the nuance of "please" but I think it is safe to remove
the listings package until it is clear that the listings
is DFSG-free.
