Debian adds copyright summary to all packages because their policy says 
that packages must have such a summary[1], not because of any request 
from anyone else.

I still think that Brians decision to accept the license on the basis 
that second clause of the "or" can be removed was wrong.

Still that might not matter if the license can be accepted because of 
the "to license" part of the license.
