<p>While the DFSG is not itself a license, this category is used to
 identify software that is otherwise distributed under a license that 
conforms to the
<a href="http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines">Debian Free
Software Guidelines</a> but might not use one of the common DFSG
conforming licenses (<a href="#gpl">GPL</a>, <a href="#lppl">LPPL</a>,
<a href="#pd">PD</a>). For example, the <a
href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html">BSD</a> license is
another DFSG conforming license. General permission to copy,
distribute, and modify the software will apply, but there may be other
(compatible) conditions.

<p><b>Please check the software's license before using the software.</b>

<p>Further information about the <a href="licenses.html"TeX Catalogue
License Cateogries</a> is available.
