This is not a legal or license question; Debian is fine either way. It's
a question about where we want to draw the line between contrib and main,
and all the previous iterations of that discussion have happened on
debian-devel.
debian-legal is just a place to talk about legal issues in Debian. It has
no special role in the project, unlike debian-devel, and in general is not
a useful place to decide project policy. Most substantive discussions of
the DFSG, as opposed to its application to a specific unusual license,
happen somewhere other than debian-legal.
Anyway, rather than moving the thread, I think we can probably just end
it, or at least this portion of it. I don't think there's any remaining
significant substantive disagreement about this specific package and the
DFSG.
