The real responsibility of not uploading non-redistributable material lies with the Debian project members with upload rights. ftpmaster is just checking for mistakes (at the point at which most mistakes are made). The difference for mentors is that the uploaders are not (yet) Debian project members and are not guaranteed to be trained in our licensing policies, and have not agreed to follow our rules. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
