I think it is much better to go along the way of opensource.org. It is DFSG
compatible and a widely accepted Free Definition. GNU is not know to be very
liberal(*).
For example freedom 1 is not compatible with BSD licenses. In fact the Free
definitions aim to define the GPL, which is not, what we want to use for all
software.
Note for example defining a License as GPL compatible means the GPL can
infect the code and "swallow" the license terms...

PS: my definition of liberal is a different one from rms. while i say
something is more liberal if it has less restrictions, rms thinks it is more
liberal if it forces others to place less restrctions on it. But are valid
views, I prefer the commercial friendly view :)
