I think it derives directly from DFSG#1--certainly the spirit, even if the letter is debated. I think adding new guidelines that are subsets of existing ones would set a very bad precedent, since it implies that the DFSG is to be read literally, as a set of rules, instead of a set of guidelines. -- Glenn Maynard
