Am I the only one who is confused as to what the significance of the
change from "free license" to "free content license" means?  I've read
the discussion by you and Erik on this, but I still don't get it.

Erik says this is a clarification.  What was unclear which is being clarified?

Jussi-Ville says that the change eliminates "content in formats that
are under free licence".  What would be an example of such content?
Does this mean the WMF would support non-free content under an open
format?  Or are you saying that the new language allows for free
content in non-free formats?
