I do not believe this is a fair representation of the opinion of *anyone* on debian-legal. The license on PHPNuke has been judged as incompatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines; therefore PHPNuke as software is not qualified to be distributed as part of the Debian OS. > But he is legally innocent.

"Technically GPL-compliant" is not a meaningful phrase, or at the very least you have not provided sufficient context for me to understand what you mean by it.
