This sounds to me that it is not clear if "CC BY-NC-ND 4.0" is allowed 
in Debian GNU/Linux or not. Am I right?
I was posting on that list in expectation that there might be a clear 
statement or policy rule. From the Python group I experience that there 
are always rules for nearly every detail when it comes to packaging. 
Isn't there a list of accepted licences? Or is there an official Debian 
institution I can ask about it?
