Branden already amended his proposal to drop the "as" (and I > followed suit). You'll have to propose dropping the "freely" > separately :) Well then... I'd like to propose dropping the word "freely" altogether. :) Currently the text reads: "we will license them freely in a manner consistent with the Debian Free Software Guidelines." I'd think it should say: "we will license them in a manner consistent with the Debian Free Software Guidelines." It seems to me that if we license them in a manner consistent with the DFSG, they will automatically be licensed freely and as people have brought up in other parts of this thread, "freely" is a little awkward and confusing.
