If by "reverse" you mean a case sample of we being less restrictive,
well, the fact of having "contrib" and "non-oss" repositories available
for packages that don't comply with the FSF and even with our own
guidelines is a good signal that demonstrate an openness outlook.
Anyway, you can also query about this at debian-legal mailing list:
