I think one recommendation has not been followed. If not, I *strongly*
recommend:
PLEASE Do not run your own license. See https://people.debian.org/~bap/
dfsg-faq.html §5
I took me some time to locate this license (please put it somewhere and
link to it).
I located it then in the header of the xchroot script, and as I only
had 5 minutes to take a look, I come only to this sentence:
"If a specific version number is mentioned then usage rights include
this version as well as any newer version which will always be similar
in spirit to this license. The term Convertible Free Software license
may be abbreviated as C-FSL."
- This will fail the the tentacle of evil test.
- What happens if there is no version number attached? Choose any?
Choose latest?
"3. It is your obligation that the changed version of your sources will
be available to the public for free within the time frame of a month at
least if there is no undue hindrance by the authors to make it
available. "
As distribution is not limited to the people using the stuff, this is
non-free. Fails Desert Island Test and Dissident Tests.
(I have stopped here... Above is not a complete analysis of any
section, also not up to 3.I)
PLEASE do not run your own license.
