Wouldn't it simply go into non-free in the cases of Debian Gnu/Hurd and Debian/*BSD just like any other "non-commercial use" license? Here's the general case of this question: should a license that restricts one port of Debian (ie Debian GNU/Linux, Debian GNU/Hurd, or Debian *BSD ATM) into placing it into non-free consequently restrict all ports, despite the DFSG-freeness of the licensure in their case? There is one more thing that this question brings up--a "port" is used for both a port of Debian Gnu/Linux to a specific architecture and a translation of the Debian userspace to another kernel: could/should there be different words used in each case for differentiation purposes?
