AFAIK the opposition was from people who opposed the machine-readable copyright format altogether, not from people who are planning to use the format and are looking to improve it. The DEP should not cater to the whims of people who aren't going to use it anyway. (If I've overlooked some constructive criticism to the effect that Files: should be optional, please point me to it. In any case, I don't agree that it makes sense to make this field optional.) > and is not required by our Policy nor our archive administrators Neither is anything else in the syntax, so I don't see how that's relevant. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
