The DFSG is the main base to decide (for ftp-masters) what can go into
Debian and what not -- at least, all rejections I had so far were due to
licensing issues. So, we should provide them either with a good
interpretation of the DFSG, or we should adjust it so that processed
data may have a formal chance to enter Debian.
BTW, to be picky, formally this also applies f.e. to photographs which
are sometimes provided as examples for image processing. Wasn't there a
discussion just about this some days ago?
Cheers
