Nope. We decide whether it is DFSG free or not. The DFSG free
licences are well known; licences close to them are not that hard to
figure out; and anyway, the borderline is still likely to be ok to
distribbute. Move away from that to the non-free end, you are on much
thinner ice when deciding.

Huh? CD distributors can go and get legal advice fromthe web
page of the person who put up the list. At the moment, debian offeres
no legal advice at all. Lots better, see?
