As indicated in the Comment field of the debian/copyright file,
referring to the following url:
https://github.com/bartaz/impress.js/issues/225
I asked upstream some clarification about the license. The answer has
been what is mentionned in the copyright file: GPL-2+ or Expat.

Unfortunately, this does not appear yet clearly in the code. I'll insist
that they include clearly the license in the code.

Cheers,

Cédric
