The issue is not whether it's right or wrong. It's more fundamental than
that. The DFSG were originally designed for software; if they are to be
extended to apply to works that are mainly about expression rather than
function, you risk bumping up against the law. Someone in, say, France,
may not legally be able to grant the permissions that you are demanding.
Now, the French contributor can sneak something past debian-legal by
writing a license text that appears to grant permissions that the
contributor has no power to grant. Is that what you want?
