The ftpmasters have recently rejected a package that contains another schema file with identical license text, and there was no obvious opposition to that decision on Debian legal [0], so the current understanding seems to be that this license is not free. I don't necessarily agree with all that, but this bug can serve as an incentive to getting this issue resolved.
