Are you the program author? If so, I have some comments:

- I find the Artistic license too ambigous and contradictory. Please could
  you use the Clarified Artistic license instead?
  http://www.statistica.unimib.it/utenti/dellavedova/software/artistic2.html
- Please could you add a header note in the DeCSS script itself to notify the
  license is Clarified Artistic, which can be found in the "Artistic" file?
- There was a text file in the distribution that allowed verbatim copying
  but disallowed modification of itself, but i can't find it now. Have you
  fixed that?
- Do you really think DeCSS is useless? If it is, i won't upload it into
  Debian, otherwise please fix your site not to say so.
- You're also Debian member, I think you're more indicate than me to be
  the DeCSS maintainer. Why don't you upload the package yourself?
