At first glance, that's a good idea.
Unfortunately, the FSF already has a very specific definition for
"semi-free" which in some ways is more restrictive than our "non-free".
Interestingly enough, our "non-free" is very similar to the FSF's
"non-free".
And then there's side issues [for example: Why bother updating all the
ftp archives? And what about other problems with the social contract?]
