Hello, is there any progress on this long-standing [bug] report? [bug]: <https://bugs.debian.org/614497> Bug [#238245] was closed a long time ago, with the Debian website [license page] stating that new material (added since 25 January 2012) is dual-licensed under the Expat license or the GNU GPL v2 or later. [#238245]: <https://bugs.debian.org/238245> [license page]: <https://www.debian.org/license> However, older material is still under the non-free OPL, until the corresponding copyright holders have been contacted and have agreed to the relicensing... Bug [#388141] is still open, is there any publicly visible status report about the tracking of copyright holders and their OKs to the relicensing? [#388141]: <https://bugs.debian.org/388141> Above all, what's the status, as far as the documents shipped in Debian package doc-debian are concerned? Please let me know, thanks for your time and dedication! -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare! To the laboratory! .....................................................
