They don't want to discuss it. Here's this mailing list and we invite anyone to participate. When we bring it up on a wider mailing list, we're told that it's off-topic. > Until that's done, there's no intrinsic reason for > debian-legal's idea about the location of the line to be better than > anyone else's opinion. We've thought about it and discussed it; they haven't! That is an intrinsic reason! Look, I'd be happy (if I was a DD already...) to propose GRs to settle some of these issues once and for all. But I'm not, and people complain about *that* too. Thanks for your informed discussion on why you disagree with some of these tests; you are the rare bird around here and contribute a lot to the discussions. -- There are none so blind as those who will not see.
