At least historically for Debian the decision if a license was DFSG-compliant or not was not made by the ftpmaster team but by consensus on the debian-legal list. This would occasionally lead to heated debates but the discussion was always open and transparant. I have not been involved with Debian for a few years so that might have changed by now. If so I can only guess as to why - the old approach worked even though it was not very fast.

AIUI, debian-legal has never had authority in these matters, although it has had a strong advising voice; it's always been up to the ftp-masters. But IANADD so ICBW.
