Actually tackling the question of whether the license is DFSG-free or not. I tend to approach license analysis from the other direction though. I read it point by point with my "freedom instincts" in mind, and when those instincts react negatively, I say something. *Most* of the time, my instincts are matched by an explicit DFSG violation, but sometimes they're not. Remember, our goal is ensure that Debian is 100% Free Software, and our guidelines are just a tool to help us achieve that goal. However, I don't object to your method in the least. It's useful, and it's head and shoulders better than most of the other discussion on this subject. Thanks! -- G.
