Upstream sources of yabasic were obtained from

The original author is Marc-Oliver Ihm <mail@yabasic.de>.

yabasic was packaged for Debian by Johnie Ingram <johnie@debian.org>,
and later maintained by Robert S. Edmonds <stu@novare.net>.  The current
Debian maintainer is Matej Vela <vela@debian.org>.

  Yabasic may be copied only under the terms of either the Artistic
  License or the GNU General Public License (GPL).

  Earlier versions of yabasic have been subject to the GPL alone and
  it is kept for backward compatibility. Since version 2.60 you have
  the choice to use yabasic under the terms of the Artistic License,
  which gives you the right to use and distribute yabasic in a
  more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable
  modifications, while giving the original author some semblance of
  artistic control over the development of yabasic.

  Regardless which license you choose (GPL or Artistic) for yabasic,
  it does not apply to your own yabasic-programs. The programs you
  write are your own work and you may use any license you like.

  Finally some examples of what is possible under the terms of the
  Artistic License:
  * Put yabasic on your own webpage, CD or other medium, charge for
    the service of distibuting yabasic.
  * Write your own yabasic-programs, put yabasic itself into the
    package and sell the whole thing. "Sell" is more than charging for
    distribution costs and time: You may make real profit with your
    own programs.
  * Modify yabasic, add or remove features and capabilities, sell the
    modified version.

  If you are still in doubt, please check out the licenses above.
