Hi, I just saw debian bug #1023035 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?archive=yes&bug=1023035 The license of ext/srfi/srfi-19.scm contains: "However, this document itself may not be modified in any way" which makes the license non-free in debian terms Looking at the current srfi-19.scm file [0] the new license doesn't contain such restriction anymore: " ;; SRFI-19: Time Data Types and Procedures. ;; ;; Copyright (C) I/NET, Inc. (2000, 2002, 2003). All Rights Reserved. ;; ;; 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, ;; EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF ;; MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ;; NONINFRINGEMENT.

" Would it be possible to adapt the license of ext/srfi/srfi-19.scm ? Greetings, jens [0] https://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-19/srfi-19.scm
