Hi Peter, > according to [0] the Geant4 license is not DFSG compliant. > > Peter > > [0] https://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience/Geant4 The relevant part of the license [1] mentioned on the wiki page is: > 5.

I don't see how this doesn't comply with the DFSG. It doesn't limit derived works, it doesn't discriminate anyone, and it isn't specific to Debian or any other software product. I'm not a lawyer though, but if indeed isn't compliant with the DFSG, I would still want to see this in non-free. Cheers, Stephan [1] https://geant4.web.cern.ch/license/license
