I'd rank that belowe FD, so I would not propose it, but I would rank it
above Choice 1.
Here are my concerns with that definition for Debian:
* The four freedoms do not have any formal role in the DFSG. Pulling
them in here seems like an odd place for Debian to sign onto them.
* The definition refers to OSD rather than DFSG in terms of licenses.
* Data information makes sense to me when talking about base models. But
data information does not guarantee that I can modify a model as part
of a software system in practice. Perhaps in practice it does, but I
would need to think through it more than I have already.
But if you propose that option I will second.
