Ok.  Let me rephrase it.

If the OPL is going to be widely used for documentation and it's considered
to be a DFSG-ok license, shouldn't it be mentioned on the DFSG to encourage
it's use? (As opposed to other licenses currently used for documentation
which are -- questionably -- DFSG-ok... perl's FAQ comes to mind)

And, btw, I was really asking if the OPL is DSFG-ok.
