I feel it's some combination of DFSG 5 (discriminating on location)
and DFSG 1 (non-monetary cost of use), so it's not really clear-cut.

DFSG-revisionist Marco d'Itri posts much nonsense, from misattributed
quotes, to accusations that myself and others joining debian-legal since
2003 introduced new interpretations of the DFSG, including things which
had apparently been common since before 1999.  Debunk him if you want
to try to quieten him for a bit.

See http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/12/msg00161.html for
more detail.
