There is already much software in Debian main with this license and other Debian Developers who do not agree with this and who will continue to include such software in Debian main. (It is, after all specifically called out as a free license in the Debian Free Software Guidelines.) So the practical impact for a Debian derivative of including or not including one more package with the four-clause BSD license is minimal. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
