You know, if you get some agressive answers to your messages, it is because you are throwing a moral judgement on the people that do not follow your views. I strongly agree with them, I feel upset by this judgement. I do not consider myself as better than any other packager and I did mistakes when going through copyright and license check. And thank the ftpmaster for spotting some of them. You shouldn't insinuate such claims but try to understand why they think it is not reasonable. And it is not reasonable since all of this is about trust. If there were no trust between us, we wouldn't upload packages to a common pool nor release an OS. If there were no trust between us and our users, they would download and check themselves each and every package's sources for copyright and license compliance. What those people are telling you is that they proceed the same way with their upstream, and assume it is a serious statement from them when they claim for license and copyright. So, really, nothing about wanting to avoid additional work... Or else, you checked youself for source availability and license compliance of each and every free software you installed in your machine... Did you ?
