Are we really allowed to distribute this in non-free? What if someday the
author says license is revoked. Can we erase _all copies_ immediately?

I don't think we should distribute it. Andrew Suffield commented on
this part of the license, noting that removing all copies immediately
is "not even physically possible." I'd like to know what debian-legal
thinks about this.
