	I like that, as long as this list is not maintianed in the
 DFSG. I think we should really rteally think hard before modifying
 the DFSG.

	However, a list of common popular licenses that have been
 examined and are known to qualify would be a good thing, as long as
 no claim is made about correctness or completeness which may open us
 up to liability.
