The relevant part of the license [1] mentioned on the wiki page is:

> 5. You may not include this software in whole or in part in any patent
> or patent application in respect of any modification of this software
> developed by you.

I don't see how this doesn't comply with the DFSG.
It doesn't limit derived works, it doesn't discriminate anyone,
and it isn't specific to Debian or any other software product.

I'm not a lawyer though, but if indeed isn't compliant with the DFSG,
I would still want to see this in non-free.

Cheers,
Stephan
