The Artistic license is a free license by Debian's definition of free.
Opinions can certainly differ over whether that's the correct call, but
changing it would require a GR, and is exceptionally unlikely to happen.
Unless someone is in a position to raise a GR on the issue, there's
therefore not much point in discussing it here. Particularly in
debian-devel, which is not really the mailing list for this topic. Either
debian-legal or debian-project would be more appropriate, not that you're
going to get any farther there than here.
