windows.

That's not a free license. In fact, it's about as non-free as you can
get, since it's essentially "all rights reserved"; there's no
permission to modify or redistribute at all. We can't distribute this,
even in non-free.
Here's the text:
Use of the works is permitted provided that this instrument
is retained with the works, so that any entity that uses the
works is notified of this instrument.
DISCLAIMER: THE WORKS ARE WITHOUT WARRANTY.
Usual example of why random people should not be writing licenses.

Describing how the code is small si sure some fun, but is this package
really useful for something? As described, it sounds just like one more
random window manager nobody cares for.

As much as I agree with the reasoning, these days the weight of your WM
isn't normally the defining characteristic in whether a lower-end computer
can run reasonably. And if you're running a specialist app, you don't
actually even need a WM often.

(I will some day learn to use "reply to list" instead of reply, and
learn how to read what I'm actually doing. Apologizes.)
For learning how to make a window manager yourself this is much better
than peering through the depths of Enlightenment, for example. But
this of course has no relevance on whether its suitable to be included
in Debian.

Do upstream developers find our arrogance endearing?
(Specifically yours.)
How embarassing.

I seldomly agree with asuffield, but having worked for a law office
for seven years has given me sufficient legal experience to know that
he is right this time. If you want to put down something legally
binding, go see a landshark.
