[PD] new license for pidip and unauthorized WAS: pd-pidip into Debian

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

You'll also have to consider SourceForge's Terms of Use, which seem to  
disallow software with licenses that do not fit into the Open Source  
Definition.

(from http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sitelegal/wiki/What%20projects%20qualify%20for%20hosting%20at%20SourceForge.net?)

# The software involved must be licensed under an Open Source license.

Notes on the application of the Open Source Definition ¶

The Open Source Definition requires that all Open Source licenses not  
limit the ways or people that are permitted to use the software.  
Though some developers of software may wish to prevent illegitimate  
use, the following should be kept in mind:

     * You can't restrict the way folks use your software, only make  
recommendations. That is: You cannot say that your software will not  
be used to commit a crime, or for military purposes; but you can  
recommend against breaking laws or using the software for military  
purposes, or the operaton of nuclear power facilities. No  
discrimination against purpose of use.
     * You can't restrict who can use your software: business,  
military, individuals, individuals with past criminal record can all  
use your software alike. No discrimination against people.
     * You can't license your software to prohibit use by T7  
countries, but you can include clauses to note the requirements placed  
on the licensee by the US Government, and state that users should  
abide by all applicable laws.
