212    License
213    -------
214    
215    The DEP must have a license that is DFSG free. You may choose the
216    license freely, but the "Expat" license is recommended. The
217    official URL for it is http://www.jclark.com/xml/copying.txt and
218    the license text is:
219    
220        Copyright (c) <year>  <your names>
221    
222        Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining
223        a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the
224        "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including
225        without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish,
226        distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to
227        permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to
228        the following conditions:
229    
230        The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included
231        in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
232    
233        THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
234        EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
235        MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
236        IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
237        CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT,
238        TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE
239        SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
240    
241    The justification for this recommendation is that this license is the
242    most permissive of the well-known licenses. By using this license, it is
243    easy to copy parts of the DEP to other places, such as documentation for
244    Debian development or embedded in individual packages.
