Jorg is very free to create his own linux distribution and send it out giving consideration to whether he is complying with license terms of _all_ the components he chooses to bundle in it. You Mr "Good for.." are free to use Jorgnux when he does.
There are many distributions made up of all sorts of combinations of components and licenses - if you don't like debian [too snobby for you] then continue to not use it, and stick with a distribution that suits _you_ better.
Personally I find the effort that debian expend in checking license terms and compatibility a positive, which is why I am grateful that the debian project allows me to freely benefit from their effort in this respect.
The people who organise a distribution, in this case debian, are as justified in defining what criteria they use to select components as Jorg is in defining under what license(s) he wishes to work. The fact that they cannot find a way to fit together is a shame but sometimes this is the way of things.
