Huh?  Neither is "GPL" synonymous with "software licensed under an open 
source license".  As long as you distribute source, public domain meets 
all of the OSD, and is considered free by Debian.

That said, I understand the reluctance to step into the quagmire about
whether an author can or should disclaim copyright.  Is there any harm to
not listing it as approved even when it's clearly free (to the extent that
it exists ;)
