I don't think the level of separation is the same.

OFL says "with any software", without qualifying the software
complexity (a court would probably agree a 3-line script is
"software").

Vera says "a larger software package" but the people in charge
published a clarification that a simple standalone package meets the
requirements.

This license says "as part of a larger & possibly commercial software
distribution (such as a Linux distribution or magazine coverdisk)"

This seems a much higher bar to meet to me. A linux distro or magazine
coverdisk is usually hundreds of megs of other stuff if not more.

However IIRC we have some non-modifiable "content" in the distro,
which is clearly not free at all. This would have been a better
example to take IMHO.
