Ah, thanks; it's always good to get the false accusations straight from the horse's mouth. By the way, Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Whether certain language is legally binding or not is always a determination that will have to be made by a human." Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "See how much invariant text there is. If there's more than a certain amount, decide whether you still think the package should be in the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution, and if so, raise the issue on debian-legal so that the judgement of several people can applied." These types of judgements in the first case demand a degree of specialized knowledge, and in the second case a value judgement on the part of the prospective package maintainer. Thus I think my proposal is expecting both informed and prudent decisions on the part of package maintainers. Let me know if that's setting the bar too high. -- G.
