Hi All,

the license text was actually taken from a package already in the
distribution:

 http://codesearch.debian.net/results/path%3Adebian%2Fcopyright%20file%20name%20as%20is%20on%20the%20FTP%20server%20is%20prohibited./page_0

Also, a lot of packages have pdb files, though the d/copyright doesn't
state the explicit license for these files in most cases.

My understanding is that the Worldwide Protein Data Bank [0] is the
common place for all ( or almost all ) available pdb files. In such case
the PDB license applies to all pdb files available via debian packages,
and either it makes all these packages non-free or I am very wrong
here :)

Thank you,
Alex
