Besides the obvious (e.g. the push for using the latest GPL/GFDL), the fact that they care about licensing helps. Maintaining GNU software is usually less work, since they care about documenting copyright/license. With other software keeping debian/copyright up to date can be quite time-consuming. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
