*As long as the decision is taken according to rules*... What do you mean? As long as the decision is taken by people entitled to take that decision? If you mean this, well, I have to say, again, that this is like claiming that the Debian Project always automatically abides by its SC, whatever it does. > We can disagree in the sense that we would like > Debian have made another decision.

Well, I made a detailed analysis of the issues I see in CC-by(-sa)-v3.0 licenses. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00124.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/03/msg00105.html Just saying that they are "in spirit the same as GPL" is *not* a convincing rebuttal of my arguments, sorry. Other replies seen on this list are not convincing rebuttals either.
