I'm no expert in this field either.  I noticed that: anyone can download
use and modify them.  But there no grand that allows redistribution :(
That's 'derived works' in DFSG: http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

I'm assume the author implies this with 'free' but unfortunately that can
does not count :(

I've downloaded the tinfoil.zip template.  But there not more info.

Sigh, I'm not fond of playing the license game :( :(, I always wish
authors would just choose a commonly accepted free license than inventing
their own formulations.  (DSFG) free licenses are e.g. at
http://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/

Of course all is only my opinion.  What do the other devels think?

  To me vi is Zen.  To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
  a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
  You discover truth everytime you use it.
