Clarifying this officially seem indeed very useful, both for Debian and for the free software world at large, due to how relevant Debian is as one of the important gatekeepers of what is free-software-ok and what is not. Many people out there, and possibly even within the project, are assuming that the current Debian AI Policy is an official project position, whereas it is not. It's important to ratify it somehow. Since the last time this was discussed, did anyone reach out to FTP master to understand *if* they currently have already an official answer to this question or not? I'm Cc:-ing them explicitly with this message, just in case. Aside from the potential constitutional implications of this (last time it felt like I was the only one worrying about this aspect, so I'm dropping it), it would still be interesting to know their take. And it's quite possible they would actively welcome/encourage an official project-wide vote on this matter.
