Is 'The Unlicense' DFSG-compliant?



Dear debian-legal-members,

I am wondering, whether you consider 'The Unlicense' [0] to be
DFSG-compliant? On the OSI-mailing list [1] has been a discussion
arguing, that this license model is

a) not global
b) inconsistent and
c) unpredictable in its applicability

Searching debian-legal, however, I did not find any conclusive
discussion about this. So, what do you think about this? Can projects
under the Unlicense be safely included in Debian's package archives?

Thanks already in advance for clarifying this issue.

Best regards,
    Jan
