I believe some part of TeX comes under a license that is similar to this.
My understanding is that it's considered DFSG-compliant.
We also have documentation under doc/ that is under the LDP license, which
doesn't allow modified redistribution. Maybe we need to clarify DFSG wrt
documentation (or has this been addressed and I'm just a moron?).
