QPL vs. DFSG

[Raul Miller <moth@debian.org>]

It seems to me that the QPL is trying to address cases where someone
might try to use otherwise independent contractual agreements to prevent
the distribution of QPL licensed code.

And, it seems to me, that some peopl see a conflict between the way the
QPL has expressed this and their interpretation of the DFSG.

Maybe, instead of trying to isolate the precise boundary between these
two camps, people could work on how to address the real issue -- which
probably includes stuff along the lines of "we'll terminate your support
contract if you take action without our permission".

Is there a way software can be made free in that sort of situation
which is acceptable to people who like to discuss the DFSG?  If not,
is there some reason we should think that's a good thing for the free
software community?

Thanks,
