How were the licensing and namespace concerns resolved? After two years of waiting, it would be nice to know the decision criteria for such important management issues.

When I did this code audit, in part to satisfy Debian import requirements, the debian/copyright file was intentionally broken out like this to avoid ambiguity and ensure copyright pedigree. This is important because the downstream Debian sources are often disjoint or unmergeable from the upstream git repository -- as you just noticed -- and because there was an upstream conversion from svn to git that mangled some of the commit history. > I have CCed the copyright holders of these man pages, to inform them that > they have to license them under a DFSG-free license, or they won't be allowed > into Debian main. Why are you making this request? Surely this is the responsibility of the package maintainers to do this work and maintain an upstream rapport. We haven't seen Aron Xu or Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez at the upstream issue tracker or support lists in more than a year. Conversely, Turbo Fredriksson is active and should therefore be added to the primary list of people with Debian FTP upload privileges. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
