I think in previous discussions, it was suggested to pay for a proper legal opinion, may be from SFC or SFLC. I think this would be a good use of Debian's money.With a proper legal opinion, we will be in a much better position to evaluate changes to these processes.
SPI has relationships with some great IP lawyers specializing in F/LOSS licenses and community-run projects, and they charge us very reasonable rates.
