Great care has been taken to ensure that the TeX Live 5 CD contains
only software without restrictions on usage or redistribution.
Specifically we have followed the "Debian Free Software Guidelines"
(aka "Open Source"). Thus TeX Live 5 may, unlike TeX Live 4, be
freely copied and distributed, and the full sources are available for
all parts of the system for those who wish to see how it was put
together or experiment with modifications.

The above paragraph fits the actual terms better.

There is no "Debian License" only the "Debian Free Software
Guidelines". Good links include the pedagocical
