Merely that the DFSG addresses anything related to the rights attached to things in Debian. To say "the DFSG doesn't address branch X of law" is false if that branch of law is concerned with restricting or granting rights to things we distribute in Debian. I made no admonition as to what anyone "should do". -- \ "It ain't so much the things we don't know that get us in | `\ trouble.
