Why does the PDL not fullfill the DFSG?

Since you took part in that discussion, you could surely summarize the
point where the PDL fails or at least post a pointer to the discussion.
Found it. Section 3.2 includes force distribution which failes the
Desert Island test:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00236.html
There was also a problem with section 3.3:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/03/msg00260.html
Essentially, a license is DFSG-free when the debian-legal list puts a
stamp of approval calling it "free", and the guidelines and tests are
just guidelines and tests.
Don't you think this is absurd?
It is to me, but I am not a lawyer. I don't know which quantity of
tracking would be deemed sufficient by a judge. That's my point.
But no matter. It looks like you and Ian came up with a good
alternative. Let me explore that before we keep dwelling on this.
Cheers,
Daniel.
