I just re-read the original licence information and noticed the following:

> Permission is granted to *distribute* and use the *sourc*e,
> documentation files and/or compiled binaries associated with dbf
> *for non-commercial use*. No charges may be made for such
> distributions.

So I'm now using the old bug to track the DFSG-freeness problems, as
it contains the old licence information.
