That one is "verbatim copying" only, which is not free software.  (That 
is a recurring problem with FSF-maintained databases, sadly.)

Looks like mostly an index.

That site has interesting background info to inform purchasing 
decisions and entered my bookmarks a while ago.

For debian, one can try http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and that has mixed 
modBSD and GPL copyright terms.  Some gNewSense fan could probably adapt 
and extend it for the benefit of everyone.

Hope that helps,
