But I feel that it could be seen as a bug.
I'm not quite comfortable with this `grandfathering' thing.
It could become a slippery slope: someone may come up with something
like:
"if the GPL is not-quite-free, but it's considered free anyway only
because it's grandfathered by DFSG#10, why cannot the
<put_your_favourite_non-free_license_here> be grandfathered as well?"
I'm not asking this, but if someone else asks?
