Indeed:

"TrueCrypt Licensing. Karl Goetz wondered if the license of the
popular multi-platform disc encryption software TrueCrypt is free
enough to allow distributing it with Debian. Michael Poole answered
that the license isn't free at all because there are a lot of unclear
and imprecise paragraphs which makes it impossible to distribute
TrueCrypt within Debian." [1]
