Hi all, First of all kudos to all those who take enormous chunks of time to see that no license threatens either in letter or spirit the DFSG . I am not a subscriber to the list so if somebody answers this mail, please make sure to CC me so I also benefit from the answer.
I have been trying to blog about debconf and the presentations made during them. In that aspect, I have seen Bradley M. Kuhn's presentation http://meetings-archive.debian.net/pub/debian-meetings/2016/debconf16/The_Supreme_Court_of_DFSGFree.webm While I have a few thoughts which I am penning/blogging on my blog, one query - thought is about how rejection of packages takes place ? For e.g. if I have an application which I either package or get it packaged through friends, I submit through an RFS - Request for Sponsorship. Now while I know that people are tested for their knowledge of DFSG and they have to read in order to understand what's good or not, if it's a new license, how things flow ? Does the DD, the sponsor ask for a ruling or does the ftp-master/ftp-assistant asks/decides ? Or perhaps a bit more interestingly, do we keep stats. of packages rejected according to reason ? If it's documented, where could I find those stats ? Looking for answers and respect for all the hard work everybody does . -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
