Thanks Lex. There is also a distrust and unhappiness about debian-legal in the rest of the debian community. Let me show you two choice quotes : "You shouldn't have listened to those debian-legal morons" "Anyway, if you start asking debian-legal if a given licence is free, you probably end up leaving debian in disgust" So, there is a real problem of the debian-legal image here, and probably more people would feel like participating if there was more seriousness involved here. I don't necessarily did disagree that the QPL is non-free, but i would like that the reasoning leading to it was strong enough to be indubitable, and that wasn't happening. Friendly, Sven Luther
