I think this make the Artistic license non-DFSG-free :
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this
Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly
commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software
distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a
product of your own.
By the way, while rewriting the DFSG what about license that are not written
in english ? In french for example. I talk about that because one
of my package (sympa) is waiting in Incoming because the license is
written in french. I've provided a translation to the persons in charge
of the FTP installation at their request but i'm still waiting.
Cheers,
