Bug#629518: AMD APP licence
Firstly, please contact upstream and ask them to release it under an
existing DFSG-free license. You might get lucky ;)
If they aren't interested in DFSG-free licenses, then something like
this would be better:
http://intellinuxwireless.org/LICENSE.iwlwifi-ucode
If the license does not change, I would suggest using a downloader
package that displays the upstream license and requires the user to
agree to it.

Within Debian would be just among DDs, probably not to Debian users
and anyone browsing our mirrors. I don't think this is enough.

...except as permitted in the license. IMO this is fine if the other
clauses are fine.

Hmmm.

Correct. The last one is the 4-clause BSD license with obnoxious
advertising clause.
