It deals with initial uploads and other situations(at least new upstream and other cases). I understand the initial upload needing attention but the subsequent uploads should not need license checking unless this 'tag' value was changed. cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
