[Fsfe-france] License

Hi,

Someone pointed that it is not stated in

http://www.gnu.org/evaluation/evaluation.html

that the license should qualify as a Free Software License. Although
it's obvious to all of us, someone not familiar with the GNU project
can conclude that any kind of licence, even non-free, can be
accepted. I propose to change

 -License:               (specify type - any problems?)

to

 -License:               (specify type - any problems?)

   The license must be a Free Software License, as listed in
   http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html. If you think your
   license is a Free Software License but is not listed in this page,
   please send a mail to address@hidden Unless there exists
   compelling reasons that prevent this, the GNU GPL is preferred. If
   you have to choose another Free Software License, you should select
   a license that is compatible with the GNU GPL. Choosing a license
   that is not compatible with the GNU GPL is a source of
   interoperatiblity problems and should be avoided where possible.

If you agree with this I can do the change myself.

Cheers,
