Thanks for that and the comments off-list. What would the period summaries have done to help you with the Eclipse thread? Or did you mean the long licence summaries? What would they have done? Personally, I've been ignoring that thread because it's very large, I dislike Java and it didn't seem to be heading towards consensus yet. I have less time now, so I changed from period summaries, which are interesting statistics to me but not much practical use, to making notes that help me with a real problem: how do I answer when asked whether I think some software is free software? Do the long licence summaries do much besides fuelling the project red-top's debian-legal hate campaign? As soon as someone starts drafting one, it runs reports about -legal "ruling" on a licence. Successes are rarely reported, as good news is not news. Really, you're better off reading planetdebian if you want to know what's going on. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
