This has all been debated at length on debian-legal. I'd recommend waiting on this flamewar for the time being; debian-legal is still preparing detailed information on this issue, in the hopes that if the repeat discussions/flamewars can't be prevented, they can at least not start from scratch. It's not quite ready to be dragged out onto debian-devel, as the existing arguments are still scattered among hundreds of messages. -- Glenn Maynard
