+1. I'd love some guidance on this. I'm not convinced that our current Policy approach is best here. Although I'm not convinced that we want to put *every* DFSG-free license there, since there are a lot of licenses only used by single packages, and I'm not sure it's a good idea to have 80 copies of the Expat license with all of its wording variants. Please note that I'm pretty sure I can speak for the Policy maintainers as a group in saying that no way are we taking on the responsibility for determining what licenses are DFSG-free or not, so we'll need some source of information for what licenses are eligible for inclusion from someone else (probably ftpmaster, maybe via NEW processing). -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
