A fair question; I asked a longer version of the question just now. > As far as I know, opensource.org and Debian project accept > gnu-agpl-v3 license. > See > http://opensource.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0 agreed. > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=495721 .

That might be a reasonable policy, but it seems DFSG is severe enough that I am not sure there are licenses that are DFSG-acceptable and not Open Source or Free.
