I can not sorry. I did not say that it is a widely used and
accepted license in Debian (which I should have written of course). It
seems to be widely used and widely accepted outside debian though. I
do not know how many debian packages that has this license.

And I do not have any good script to tell you any statistics, sorry. :(

I still think it can be good to list it in the common-license dir though.
