Good. As a consequence, I hereby state that I don't consider the Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes clause as an issue anymore. That is to say: I am *no* longer worried by clause 3e(i) of CC-by-sa-v3.0/unported and CC-by-v3.0/unported licenses. I am still worried by absurd laws, but that's a completely different beast (we should not blame licenses for that). I am still concerned by the other CC-v3.0 issues listed in my analyses: http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/07/msg00124.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/03/msg00105.html Is anyone willing to kill another concern of mine (by following the constructive discussion approach, please)? Final disclaimers, as usual: IANAL, TINLA, IANADD, TINASOTODP. -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
