I am somewhat reluctant to allow that, because people installing this
thing really should read the various informational pages on the Wpoison
web site (whose URL you gave above) in order to understand it fully and
properly. (It always seem like a lot of people get confused and they
incorrectly think that (a) proper use of Wpoison will cause the legiti-
mate search engines to avoid any web site that uses Wpoison.. which is
just plain false, and/or that (b) Wpoison will cause some innocent
people to be spammed... which is EXTREMELY unlikely.)
I will however allow Wpoison to be distributed with Debian, but only
on the condition that a copy of the Wpoison logo is incorporated into
the home page at www.debian.org, and that this is made into a
clickable link that, when clicked, will take people to the Wpoison
home page, URL given above.
I mean hay! If this is good enough to distribute to zillions of
Debian users, then it is also (a) good enough to use on the Debian
web site and (b) good enough to be given a tiny little bit of real
estate on the www.debian.org home page. (You could put the Wpoison
logo/icon right underneath the W3 logo/icon that you already have
on that page.)

If I knew what DFSG was, I could maybe answer that.
(Sorry. I guess I'm ignorant.)
