I do not guarentee this to work on any computer, except my own. If it should some how allow all the magic smoke to escape your computer, well tough. You were warned. Avoid swimming for at least three hours after using this product. What little bit of this that is copyrightable is copywritten by David Holland david.w.holland@gmail.com. You may do what you wish with this code so long as some credit is given to me, and the copyright is maintained. If someone would like to send me better installation instructions, and or code updates, I'll gladly update the package and attribute the improvements to them.

Above is from nwmovies.README.txt, I suggest that we add it as new "nwmoview" license file. @Licenses team, does this qualify for @MISC-FREE? In addition, we need "Artistic" for libdis.

It doesn't allow me to swim at least three hours after using the product. Or is that just a recommendation? That's not clear to me. If I am not allowed to swim, how is this @MISC-FREE?

These kinds of "ha ha get it get it" clauses are very troublesome, and have resulted in licences being rejected by e.g. FSF as non-free. I would argue that the wording leaves it a criteria for using the software, not a mere recommendation in conjunction with using it. (Though that's considering English, not Legalese.) However obvious the joke is, I would not put this in MISC-FREE. Instead, consider emailing the author and explaining him that a) it's not a very good joke (not even for a dad), and b) it's an unnecessary PITA.
(In reply to Alexander Berntsen from comment #5) > However obvious the joke is, I would not put this in MISC-FREE. Fine with me. Let the user read the license and decide if he wants to put it into his ACCEPT_LICENSE then. > Instead, consider emailing the author and explaining him that a) it's not > a very good joke (not even for a dad), and b) it's an unnecessary PITA. Feel free, if you want to go through the trouble.

(In reply to Julian Ospald (hasufell) from comment #7) > (In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #6) > > Let the user read the license > > Best joke in this bug so far :D This isn't entirely unreasonable. There are generally two groups: -The kind that care about licences (which will do this) -The kind that don't (which will have ACCEPT_LICENSE="*") So it all kind of works out.
As reported by bernalex to licenses@, e-mail to upstream bounced. Therefore committed with LICENSE="nwmovies Artistic". nwmovies _not_ added to any license group.
