I would really support that. A recommendation does not mean that there may be some exceptional cases where DEP5 is not applicable, although I think that DEP5 is flexible enough to cope with almost all cases. It is always an advantage to follow standardized procedures as they make the communication between us simpler and allow for standardized tools to process them, inclusion in the UDD etc. @Andreas: Independently of how this goes for the Debian Policy, recommending DEP5 would be a good thing for the policies of Debian Science and friends (astro, med). This could even allow to display the (source) license(s) on the blends web pages. Best regards Ole
