On closer inspection, the license is not GPLv3+ at all, AFAICS. There’s
an ‘Artistic’ file license with the old Artistic license, which is
non-free AFAIK. And there’s code in libframe/ for instance marked as:
/* Copyright (c) 1992 AT&T - All rights reserved. */
Lacking additional info, that makes it non-free. There’s also a bunch
of Plan 9 headers and stuff taken as-is.
Do you know of free distros that provide Wily? Could you check whether
I’m missing something?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
