Thanks for your comments, Rafael and Andre.  I was not aware about the
non-freeness of CCSA2.0, as regards the DFSG.  

In an afterthought, I am not sure that the DOG website needs a license at
all.  Most of the content is in the "Other stuff" section and it was
included there by cutting & pasting from other web sites.

I think that I will let things as they are for the moment, but keeping an
eye at CCSA2.0.
