Frank, I do respect your work, but just for clarification: Are those
licence classifications your opinions as Debian LDP package maintainer?
That would be a (functionally) important opinion, but I'm just hoping
people realise that there is no such thing as a canonical list of
DFSG-free licences, only a bunch of Web pages posted by various
Debian-related people, some of them posting to debian-legal and some
not, that do not in any way speak for the Debian Project as a whole (but
are often misread as being such -- including by other Debian maintainers).
In my own view, I think a number of legitimately DFSG-free licences have
been wrongly classified as non-free by certain vocal debian-legal
posters, e.g., by people on debian-legal who did not correctly read and
interpret the trademark licensing clause in CC Attribution-ShareAlike
2.0, when that was discussed on that mailing list.
