That chart makes it look so easy.

I just counted the number of licenses found on my Hardened Gentoo install, all of which are located at /usr/portage/licenses. The total number of possible licenses is 638. How much time would it take me to read through all 638 licenses to determine which licenses guarantee the 4 software freedoms? Oh, that's right. Distros like Trisquel exist so I don't even have to worry about it.
