Debian already uses many packages as part of its essential set that require copyright assignments. coreutils springs immediately to mind. I realize some people see a distinction between assigning copyright to the FSF and assigning copyright to Canonical, but I think the distinction is relatively fine, and certainly not strong enough alone to make it a non-starter, at least IMO. When evaluating relative merits, I think the relative sizes of the development communities and the integration with other important subsystems (like desktop environments) are more relevant reasons to be concerned about upstart compared to systemd. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
