Comp.arch: For "Debian FSG compatible", I'm keeping the "No" (while it seems like "restricted Yes"), since the license is mentioned under "Serious violations". The link with that is newer and seems better (I couldn't locate PHP under current one), and since it mentions the policy "Revised August 2016" I date the other link I added accordingly.
