I agree with the argument that this is not DFSG free.  I'm posting
mostly because it's unclear when no one responds to a message whether
a consensus exists or whether the comment has not been read.

I think this license is sufficiently obviously DFSG non-free that
whoever claimed it was free and closed the bug should spend some time
reviewing the DFSG before continuing to maintain packages.
