Package: check-dfsg-status

Description: check DFSG compliance of installed packages
This program will analyze the set of currently-installed packages on a Debian-based system, and report all of the packages from the non-free and contrib trees which are currently installed.
Note that check-dfsg-status is not limited to Debian systems only (which means that it also works with Debian-derived distributions such as Ubuntu). It is also not limited to Linux-based systems.
This program was originally called vrms but as the opinions of Richard M. Stallman and the Debian project have diverged since the program was written it has been renamed to check-dfsg-status. This is also a more accurate name as the program always followed the Debian Free Software Guidelines.
