+License
+-------
+
+The DEP must have a license that is DFSG free. You may choose the
+license freely, but the "Expat" license is recommended. The
+official URL for it is http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt and
+the license text is:
+
+    Copyright (c) <year>  <your names>
+    
+    Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
+    a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the
+    "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including
+    without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
+    distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to
+    permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to
+    the following conditions:
+    
+    The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
+    in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
+    
+    THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,

+    TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
+    SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
+
+The justification for this recommendation is that this license is the
+most permissive of the well-known licenses. By using this license, it is
+easy to copy parts of the DEP to other places, such as documentation for
+Debian development or embedded in individual packages.
