IANAL, but https://www.debian.org/legal/licenses/ mentions it.
Licenses currently found in Debian main include:

Python Software Foundation License
For example, CPython is distributed under the PSF License and is
included in Debian main:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/p/python3.13/python3.13_3.13.1-3_copyright
I think this was not the question. Of course is the PSF License is in
compliance with the DFSG.
I think the real question is about the used License for the CX-Freeze
software Karsten has linked to.
cx_freeze was part of Calibre in the time of Buster and before, but was
not used in Debian so far, but was part of the source code. So it must
have been DFSG compatible I guess (given the source was reviewed by the
FTP-masters?). Might be that cx_freeze was included later then the first
acceptance of calibre did happen.
At the moment I can't find any mention of the cx_freeze library in any
debian/copyright file of the packages.
https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=cx_freeze+path%3Adebian
The size of the license text is rather short compared to the current
version of PSF-2.0.
I find it nearly impossible to find out what the differences in detail
are or were in the past.
