Instead of trying to get standards documents out of Debian, I'd rather see effort invested in working on solutions to get Debian able to include them. Standards are important to our industry, yet Debian is not able to include their works because modification is not allowed without going through the standards body. I don't think that is entirely unacceptable, although I acknowledge that certain standards bodies can be difficult or unpleasant to work with. I'd like to see a compromise in the DFSG like #4 for standards to allow their inclusion in Debian when their license at least allows modification when changing the name or namespace for schemas and the like. With a DFSG compromise for standards we have better position to negotiate with the standards bodies to use compatible terms for their standards works. Instead of our current position that their works are not acceptable for Debian. Kind Regards, Bas -- GPG Key ID: 4096R/6750F10AE88D4AF1 Fingerprint: 8182 DE41 7056 408D 6146 50D1 6750 F10A E88D 4AF1
