Does debian-legal ask these questions to every copyright holder who

an existing and acceptable license?
The X-Oz is not directly any existing accepted licence, is it? -legal
members do ask these sort of questions about most new licences, when
it seems unclear.
I have read elsewhere on this list [...]
I strongly suggest that you give references when writing that sort of
thing, else insanity may result. Also, dealing with -legal directly
rather than through a summariser or maintainer means that you are
talking to a range of people with different views who refine them over
time to reach consensus (usually!), so someone else's bug wouldn't
bind Branden.
On the point under discussion, I think both licence text and holder's
stated intent have some value. :-)
