With your permission, I hope, I've added the fragment below near the start of the section on copyright in the policy manual. Ian. The aims of the policy detailed below are: <list compact> <item> That any user be able to rebuild any package in the official Debian distribution from the original source plus our patches. <item> That we make available in our packaging formats as much software as we can. <item> That it be easy for people to make CDROMs of our distribution without violating copyrights. </list> <p>
