I was thinking to use the term:
Licence: This software is under any Licence which complay
with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG).
I am thinking, that this makes my standpoint more clear as telling
users: "This software is under GPL vXX". I fully aggree with the
Debian philosophy and this is why I stay with it (even if it steals
me sometimes th last nerv ;-) )
What do you think about it?
