Looking at the ML-Policy, it seems to me that "+mlp" would mostly be
used to signal stripping of ToxicCandy models, which have DFSG-compliant
licenses, but are derived from non-free/unknown data/software. NonFree
models are non-DFSG by definition, so "+dfsg" covers them well.

suffixes to mark any modification to the source tarballs, not
necessarily stemming from the DFSG. I am not entirely sure what would be
the benefits of using "+mlp" suffix. Could you please provide your
rationale for it?
Best,
