Interesting choice of licence.  Would you not also accept WTFPL and any
similar licences?  Is CC-by, or CC-by-SA really not acceptable?  I think
the reasons for this  decision are something that people on the list
might be interested to hear.

Given that the group is at least in part about freedom (if it isn’t, why
is it being bandied about here?), and that free software provides all of
the tools necessary, even if they do work differently to the de facto
standard proprietary software, I don’t think it is necessary to allow
the use of software that goes against freedom (with the obvious caveat
that this takes away a freedom of the author to use proprietary
software).
