Well, the real objections would come from FTP-master and debian-legal.
The discussion I pointed out here 

https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/09/msg00026.html

mainly is about that the phrase "release into the public domain" might
have an unexpected legal meaning, since the copyright holders reside in
the UK, and there this phrase might have a different meaning.
