Huh ? Isn't the DFSG such written that no restriction on further
distribution it placed. By guarantying that all software in main is
compliant with the DFSG, we thus guarantee that it is also distributable
without restriction (and more). If this was not the case, then the
software should be removed from main.
The only further restriction on distributing is the one placed on us by
some stupid local governements, who think they can put a censorship on
knowledge, and in particular limit exportation to certain countries and
other such.
