Choice of venue is accepted as free in Debian and Ubuntu (despite misgivings
expressed that this is a bad thing in a free software license).

The publicity clause is strange, and does indeed go farther than the
standard BSD license.  I'm not sure if that's actually something that should
make it non-free.  Evidently, the Debian ftp team haven't ruled on this -
despite being discussed on debian-legal, the package is not in the Debian
archive, nor in the Debian NEW queue?
