Well, I did give the disclaimer that this was just a list of ideas to start discussion - it would be really helpful to have other potential ideas too. There is already the appearance of commercial activity in derivatives and it can also undermine motivation for people when they upload something to Debian and they see it in a commercially funded derivative distribution before it passes the NEW queue and appears in Debian itself. In the case of one of my own uploads, this appeared to be pure co-incidence but I can imagine cases where the packager may get a bad impression. One way to deal with this may be to suggest that if something is accepted by Ubuntu while waiting in NEW and if it passes an automated scan for binary content and blacklisted license texts, it could be automatically accepted in Debian. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJUCsCyAAoJEGxlgOd711bEosUQAJfL62+H0r0FsbHTuMZQ9Fbs Lzg/umTgZ8qcS81g09EW0LqiuYiXAD+tvsF8OoktxvmBWspUEOd3xj2tA0ZstaG0 v7ZWgK6wfiXoQmWqs9viUy1nrHguM1FbNpSCsYRsM56w7jsLqwroxLJGTN/vPrjI bRgeaw4HGGG3hY0Ln4sEAYI+ehJ3XOu2MDIqpEfsdvSOuoA6Y/FF0cH7Enk6zaQ+ 5Dx2+PBLY5MP2pr0zV0zGnLsZuNSWoBFvqYHCu8qCS1mbFcfloaOLTftYTIYgAzg ktXZL5HEM3H7HQsVup9j7JZIvU4z69v47/5UqkfK0GwmViz730G9TksJHURLDMmc 9SLOQty9Ga3m4JgK+G2vtJs4lmJ06ghUGktGIbeiTzCKYHzI6fIYOCIHYs6OGG6x H4DrzolOPDBcibVIQSHnkSma1u2ORVP3+0kXHvdOIGmOBg+kkEXEvmIey/f8kG63 kCnISbtHa5VgPS4syA1fvAFnAruaKHL0G3QEtrMTdRp9s1vIVZSTbP0G0VlV1TKh E8l9mr0Ol5N38uLNKjm4JXiLkte+b3QF0vUfClre7add96XeJeLOlBjJ8KBdOknF xobrlmmhr8VkSe1cpOJJKMiHDoWVII1hKY/VPSPtMsIgz/7GkcM7J378UmNg70aI S420ykwhPJ5TWK7BMAuR =CPJk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
