It was also reported at Trisquel (thanks, Marcooliva), but I didn't have
much time to review it, as it is a tricky license this one. Its problem
is the absence of *explicit* permission for modifications:
-----------------------
9wm is free software, and is Copyright (c) 1994 by David Hogan.
Permission is granted to all sentient beings to use this software,
to make copies of it, and to distribute those copies, provided

(1) the copyright and licence notices are left intact
(2) the recipients are aware that it is free software
(3) any unapproved changes in functionality are either

or (ii) distributed as a new program which is not called 9wm
and whose documentation gives credit where it is due
(4) the author is not held responsible for any defects
or shortcomings in the software, or damages caused by it.
There is no warranty for this software. Have a nice day.
