That criterion is not quite enough to achieve the stated goal, because
Licenses approved by the OSI are not necessarily Free Software
licenses. As a result, this criterion allows Gentoo to include, and
even depend on, programs that are not free software. (See
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/apsl.html for an example.)

I agree on that
<snip>
Would you please consider changing your criterion to refer to both the
OSI and the FSF, so that licenses must qualify as both free software
and open source?

It's a small change that might satisfy not just you but many others active in the community.
If I can vote I vote yes for that change to happend.

(If you would call the system Gentoo GNU/Linux, that would help us
also. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html.)

This isn't only more correct, it actually looks better IMHO :)
My 10 cents of worth...
