If I've read the FAQ (posted earlier in this thread) correctly, if
Debian uses a centralized location for license files, which
/usr/share/doc/packagename/copyright is, then Debian should be able to
put the license there and does not need to put a copy in the same

, I don't think this will hurt.
Meanwhile, I have tried to build wget with gnutls and, although it has
failed, I could start improving the OpenSSL compatibility support in GNU
TLS. Perhaps that could help some other software that seem to have the
same problema, like mail-notify.

Wouldn't it be possible to link to libgnutls instead of libssl? It seems
that GNU TLS provides an API compat
urces as required by the GPL is enough for me, as
long as you don't think simply including an URL in the docs means
source distribution or a equivalent offer when you didn't offered to
make a copy of the binaries from the same place.

ng the source? Would the host serving the website be willing
to be pointed to by every such distributor instead of being mirrored
by him?
Thus, I would not consider my sources being properly distributed to
someone if they are only pointed to an URL.

ian would not
distribute sources of software that requires that, without making an
offer to distribute the sources for at least three years.
Pointing to Debian main repository should not be enough. Imagine
Debian servers get down for any reason in the only day one could get
the binaries and sources.

s, we can check each
distribution that is violating the GPL by not offering the source.

I will reply my own message in response to Olive and Joey Hess.
That's also my non-lawyer's opinion. What I will say is some reasoning
about requiring the same terms for copying binaries and source. Not
following them by the word may b
es to
Ubuntu in case they want them.
What do you people in debian-legal think about people who distribute
ISO images on their websites but no ISO with sources nor a written
promise? Should we consider there is an implicit offer and just ask
for the sources?

-legal about
it. Since I'm leaving for the weekend, do not expect me to answer until
Tuesday.
Thanks for that great piece of free software. I intend to join your
discussions in debian-legal a little more, since I'm very interested in
license questions.
