Most of the time, a consensus is reached which convinces the maintainer, and either the package is removed or the license fixed. It's very uncommon for a maintainer to be so uncooperative as to ignore d-legal entirely, so this issue doesn't come up much. (So, while I'm not aware of any cases where the ftpmasters have gone against the consensus of d-legal, the number of cases where this comes up at all seems very small, so that's not much of a statement.) As far as I can tell, the maintainer made no counterarguments at all in the recent thread; not even presenting a case (or a link to a previous one, if any), so I think there's nothing more to do but to finish the license summary and then punt it to the ftpmasters. -- Glenn Maynard
