Disclaimer: I cannot speak for the Debian Project, since I have not been delegated to do so; I am just a Debian contributor (a Debian Maintainer, to be precise) who has been a regular on the debian-legal mailing list for quite a long time. That said, my own personal opinion is that what you would like to do should not be a problem, from a conceptual standpoint. The only trouble I see is that the document that includes the Debian Social Contract and the Debian Free Software Guidelines still seems to be under the non-free OPL license, as there is no evidence that it has been re-licensed (yet)... Please take a look at bug [#614497] for more detailed information about this (long) story. [#614497]: <https://bugs.debian.org/614497> I admit that this looks like sad news, but... it is what it is... :-( -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
