To me second to the issue if a license will probably rated valid if it comes before a court the question of be able to give and receive from others is the main question. The Debian Wiki projects is also currently discussing about their license. An overview from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianWiki/LicencingTerms/Proposals
Some documentation in other projects, and their licenses --------------------------------------------------------

My adding this URLs to my firefox gave that additional information: [1] With exception Ubuntu Packaging Guide [2] Accepted licences are: Creative Commons BY-SA, Creative Commons BY, GPL, MIT License, New BSD License, Open Publication License 1.0 with no options Maybe you could held a discussion about that issue (together with the Debian people and others) on the next Linux Tag or something like it?
