This Debian package contains the parts of GNU Guile that cannot go
into Debian main because their licenses do not satisfy the Debian Free
Software Guidelines (DFSG).

The original upstream source was downloaded from
ftp.gnu.org/pub/guile.

Most of Guile is covered under the terms of the LGPL.  See the file
/usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL for more information.  However, this
package contains files which were deemed unsuitable for Debian main
because their licenses do not appear to satisfy the requirements of
the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).  See
http://www.debian.org/social_contract.

In particular, the info pages included in this package are covered
under the GNU Free Documentation License, which Debian has decided
does not satisfy the DFSG in cases where "Invariant Sections" are
specified (this includes front and back cover texts).  See this
Debian General Resolution on the topic:
http://www.debian.org/vote/2006/vote_001.

Some other files are included here because their license only allows
verbatim copying, or there was some other question.

See the "GNU Free Documentation License" node in the Guile Reference
manual ("info guile-1.8") for the full text of the GFDL.
