The DFSG lists three specific licenses that are meant to satisfy its

three licenses are listed as exceptions to the rules of the DFSG, but
I think that is a misinterpretation. I think they are meant as
examples to help people understand what the DFSG criteria mean. An
interpretation of the rules which would lead to rejecting any of thee
licenses is the wrong interpretation.
I think you are right. Note that the DFSG is not listed.
