A list of packages that have or had license issues from the top of my head: gnucash (HBCI support), kmymoney2 (HBCI support), ttf-liberation, bacula (encryption), libapache-mod-security. The only case I am aware of where another distro refuses to distribute a package found in Debian is Fedora's stance on afio. If you know of other cases, I would be interested to learn about them. > Even if so, how does one get from that fact to "Debian's policy on > licensing usually involves taking the high road..."? I would claim that said fact presents evidence that this statement is true. But again, I do not see a problem with this.
