I understand you do not want use a someone else's contract, but the FSDG are an anagream of DFSG, so that's the same... No, I joke. There are a lot of things to change in the DFSG, but why change the DFSG, the better contract is created : that's the FSDG! I do not see any problems for using it! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
