Agreed, one problem with OSD would be that it doesn't cover CC
licensed materials or non-software - we do have themes, artwork and so
on that are CC. On a sidenote, we have themes that are CC SA 2.5 (due
to license of template from Fremantle), which would fail the DFSG
definition and not being admittable to extras free in such a
situation.
