Manoj, I know this should be an implicit to give the project secretary, but I don't know you personally. Thanks for saying this--I respect that a lot. > I do believe that "The license must allof for modifications" > does mean that any modification of the work must be > permissible -- not just modifying whatever the author gives you > permission to modify. Well, to a large extent I agree with you--I certainly would prefer software with that property myself!--but I still feel that that's a question of interpretation, not of fact. Anyway, I won't argue any further about it; I've posted more than enough on this topic. I suppose if the Debian project at large wants this change enough, they'll jump through the 3:1 hoop.
