Evaluating which license or other conditions best ensure the four freedoms
is a ever ongoing process (at least because legislation changes from day to 
day).

So there will always be examples where the leading experts are not sure about.
To me the leading experts are the major FSFs, Debian and OSI.
(At least those are the ones putting in significant time evaluating software
and licenses.)

Step back a few steps and this does not change the overal picture:
There is Free and un-free Software. 
Some groups use a different word for Free Software.
