Eli is correct here, everything in Debian main allows the creation and
distribution of derivative works.  Software and documentation are
treated the same in this respect.

At the moment I'm just stripping collects/scribble/jfp,
collects/scribble/sigplan from the Debian packages (which I am _finally_
going to re-upload in the next day or so). I can add them back if some
licensing info changes.

P.S. Thanks for all of your efforts in clarifying some of these
licensing issues. I know I have mainly been bugging Eli, but I know that
there is some ripple effect ;)
