Yeah, the license is a bit weird, I don't know what its "officially"  
called, but it is the same text as the [incr Tcl] license, which is  
included in Debian:

http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/itcl3/itcl3_3.4~b1-2/ 
itcl3.copyright

The only difference is that the GOVERNMENT USE section is more verbose  
in the itcl license, but they reference the same regulation numbers.
