Hi,
I do not understand the following:
- If mentors.debian.org needs to follow the DMCA, why would
mentors.debian.net be exempt of it ? Also, how do the safer harbor
procedures differ from your current practices ? Surely, if a copyright
holder
reports an infringement to supp...@mentors.debian.net, you will remove the
package, isn't it ?
- If mentors.debian.org can distribute unreviewed packages by becomming a
DMCA safe harbor, wouldn't it be possible for
ftp-master.debian.org/NEW.html ?
- Bonus question: since mentors.debian.net seems to be hosted in Germany,
does it mean that developers living in the US should refrain from uploading
crypto to it ? How do other distributions solve that problem ?
