True.  The unused parts of the source package should not be included in the
license field.

But as I have understood it, one problem with "distributable" is that it is too
vague.  Maybe I have read in more than there is.  But for me a license
description like "Meka and non-commercial" or "BSD-like and non-commercial"
would give me much more information than simply "distributable".

Aha!  Yes, that would not be such a good idea!

A package (RPM package or original upstreams source package) can't have too
many translations if the package maintainer is to maintain them himself! :-) 
But you do as you wish!

Yes, it seems to be so.

Ok.  I'll put on my to-do-list to make a test case based on the code snippet in
the reply, and send to the allegro team.

I would like to hear your view on my comments on the license text, otherwise
I'm happy with this version.
