Ciaran Anscomb <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: other
Other License: This code is based on aewm which in turn is based on 9wm which 
has its own licence.  It should meet the criteria to be Free Software (as all 
three packages have been accepted into the Debian OS).  Ideally I would have 
this under the GNU GPL, but point (1) in the original 9wm licence denies me 
that ability.  For this reason alone, I\'ve selected \"non-GNU\" - I would be 
happy for it to be included as part of the GNU project if it were possible.

This is free software.  You can do what you want to it, but if it
breaks something, you get to pay for the counselling.  The code was
originally based on aewm, so this is distributed under the same terms,
which follow.

Package: evilwm
System name: evilwm
Type: 2

Description:
My project is a minimalist window manager for the X Window System.  It 
dispenses with all window decorations bar a one pixel thick border.  It 
provides good keyboard control such that it is good for use on laptop 
computers.  It also provides \"virtual desktops\".

It is currently leading up to a version 1 release, which will happen when one 
or two niggling bugs are sorted out that apparantly only manifest with some 
rare GTK+ based software.

It already exists and you can download the latest distribution at 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/evilwm/evilwm_0.99.7.orig.tar.gz?download

Other Software Required:
The X Window System.  Only Xlib (and in some implementations, Xext) are 
required.

Other Comments:
I\'d like to host it here rather than at sourceforge.net due to hearing of 
questionable practices by the owners of that site.
