pitof, thanks for the reply.

you raise me a dubt about * line 81-83: "OpenVision.
maybe it's not good.

for the rest, i agree with you about exportation restriction
but...
Only, i wrote about this exactly because some other packages
had the same term.

thanks,
marco

Hi everyone,

I think the license of xserver-xorg-driver-nsc isn't free
because the
section containing: "Under CURRENT (2001) U.S. export
regulations this
software is eligible for export from the U.S. and can be
downloaded by
or otherwise exported or reexported worldwide EXCEPT to U.S.
embargoed
destinations which include Cuba, Iraq, Libya, North Korea,
Iran, Syria,
Sudan, Afghanistan and any other country to which the U.S.
has embargoed
goods and services." may not suit freedom 2: The freedom to
redistribute
copies so you can help your neighbor. So i disagree with bbrian
regarding this point.

Moreover, I think the license of krb5
(http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/k/krb5/krb5_1.4.3-5ubuntu0.2/)

has two unclear sections regarding freedom:

* line 18-21: "Export of this software from the United
States of America
may require
a specific license from the United States Government.  It is the
responsibility of any person or organization contemplating
export to
obtain such a license before exporting."
This section may not suit freedom 2: The freedom to
redistribute copies
so you can help your neighbor.

* line 81-83: "OpenVision
   also retains copyright to derivative works of the Source
Code, whether
   created by OpenVision or by a third party." I think this
could threat
this software freedom.
