Agreed.

There are some borderline cases however. For example, man-pages-posix
contains the following clause: "Modifications to the text are
permitted so long as any conflicts with the standard are clearly
marked as such in the text." which is perfectly reasonable in this
special case, but makes it non-free if one follows the definition
blindly. (And indeed, Debian has these man pages in "non-free" which
is stupid, IMHO.)
So the plan is:
- Add GPL-1 and LGPL-2 to @GPL-COMPATIBLE
- Add a new group "@FSF-APPROVED-OTHER" containing the following:
Arphic
CCPL-Attribution-2.0
CCPL-Attribution-ShareAlike-2.0
DSL
FDL-1.1 FDL-1.2 FDL-1.3
FreeArt
GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3
OFL-1.1
OPL
If there are no objections, I'll commit this in the next days.
