This seems sensible in 2017, and we have indeed had this perspective confirmed by someone who works with low disc space systems. It would be good to have a few more confirmations, though. > Someone set up a wiki page: https://wiki.debian.org/DFSGLicenses We > could just build upon this content and complete the work by linking to > accepted packages in main that are using those DFSG licenses. > > Shall I file another bug report against the Debian Policy or can we > reuse one of the existing bug reports for this matter? Please use a separate bug for each license or set of licenses to be added. This is because there are sometimes license-specific complexities (see #795402 for example).
