profiles: Exclude NOSA and Watcom-1.0 from the FREE-SOFTWARE group
Rationale for exclusion of NOSA:
- Section 3G: "Each Contributor represents that that its Modification
is believed to be Contributor's original creation [...]"
- FSF: "[...] not a free software license because it includes
a provision requiring changes to be your 'original creation'.
Free software development depends on combining code from third
parties, and the NASA license doesn't permit this."

Rationale for exclusion of Watcom-1.0:
- Section 2.2(c): "You must make Source Code of all Your Deployed
Modifications publicly available [...]"
- FSF: "This is not a free software license. It requires you to publish
the source code publicly whenever you 'Deploy' the covered software,
and 'Deploy' is defined to include many kinds of private use."

- Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=376431#22
- Presumably this also fails the "Desert Island" and "Dissident" tests:

Add NOSA back to the BINARY-REDISTRIBUTABLE group (but not Watcom-1.0
because of its patent clauses).
