Thanks for the info. Still, I can't help asking you something more: - are we talking about the same OPL (in this bug report we are talking about the one at http://opencontent.org/openpub/)? - which motivation do you have to sustain this thesis? I mean, I can close this bug report as I feel your opinion on this is more trustworthy than mine, but what if tomorrow another guy from debian-legal ask for this bug to be reopened? Thanks for taking time for this issue.

Bug#384019: Open Publication License DFSG-freeness
Joerg, As mentioned on -devel/-legal[1] recently and seen in #384019, the license[2] of Vim's user/reference manual is one that has previously been suggested to be non-free. Anthony Towns doubted the voracity of those claims[3] and suggested we contact you to provide another opinion on the matter. As stated in the bug, the manual makes no use of the more problematic License Options. Could you provide your take on the matter? Is Vim's manual distributable in main or do we need to move it to non-free? The license URL in Vim's help is incorrect and has been brought to the attention of upstream. The URL in footnote 2 is the correct URL.
