        Why do we need any rules different than for software? I mean,
 we do put non-DFSG sofware on the ftp site, and by most common
 rationales given for preferring librè stuff, data is less damaging to
 the community than software -- in fact, immutability (and hence
 integrity) of data can even have reasonable arguments made for it.
