While my preference is the GPL V2; I would be willing to accept
any DFSG free license, if asked. But signing away my rights mean that,
in theory, Debian can decide to change the license to something
unacceptable (look at documentation the FSF changed from GPL to GFDL,
and none of the authors had _any_ say in that).
Not assigning copyright helps keep Debian honest.
