Hello, I wonder whether the Open Database Licence (ODbL) [1] can be considered as a free license according to the DFSG. This license, designed for open data, aims at being free, in its spirit. [1] http://www.opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/ I do not think it is much used as of today, but the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project, which is a collaborative and free map project of the entire world, is considering to switch from CC-BY-SA 2.0 to the ODbL 1.0 [2]. I do not know if there is some OSM data in Debian, but it is a very important piece of free data, valuable to anyone, so it would be a shame if they switched to a buggy license.
