It looks like essentially, a w3m license is used, with a little bit of X11 interspersed for minor files. In this case, we usually put the main license into the corresponding package field with a guile comment concerning the other files.

 

Even more so, the content (if not the wording) of this w3m license is essentially X11. So maybe we need a license x11-style, modelled on bsd-style?

 

Additionally, the file matrix.c looks non-free to me:

"3. No charge is made for this software or works derived from it.

This clause shall not be construed as constraining other software

distributed on the same medium as this software, nor is a

distribution fee considered a charge."

 

So maybe it needs to be patched out, if possible? How come debian contains the file?
