I disagree; obtaining software under a DFSG-compliant license agreement is not necessarily a benefit. Some people feel that the advertising clause of BSD is a hindrance, for example, but that does not make the BSD license agreement become non-free. DFSG has some specific requirements and I think we should stick to them. Those requirements talk about use, modification, and redistribution, and those are the most important things for open source software. -Lex
