That is gum. What is "promise"? You cannot have such things in the DFSG. It is washing the DFSG out as the amendment would do.

Before you make any change to the DFSG, you'd better discuss and vote about "Accepting FDL" needs/does not need a DFSG change. Vut in my point of view thsi question was already coverd by the GR.

Looks like people wanting to have more software currently counted as non-free or contrib in main look for chance to wash DFSG out. Pleas think about the side effects, if DFSG is changed.
