Rejected: Bug#438492: Policies copyright rule doesn't fit empty transitional packages

2008-06-07 Thread Russ Allbery
This proposal requests relaxing Policy's copyright rules to allow for completely empty packages that contain no files for use in transitions. The contention was that such packages would then be immediately forgotten by dpkg rather than lingering on the system. There is no response in the bug to my

Rejected: Bug#435476: add MIT License as a common license

2008-06-07 Thread Russ Allbery
This proposal requests adding the MIT license (the Expat license version of it) to common-licenses. As explained in the bug, the minor wording changes to this license when used by different packages make it not as common as it looks. In addition, there is a general preference on the Policy list f

Rejected: Bug#434651: New virtual package: wims-extra

2008-06-07 Thread Russ Allbery
The general consensus in the bug discussion seemed to be that this was a cooperating group of packages using the virtual package privately, which doesn't require registering it with the central list. I'm not sure where the line should be drawn for that, but in this specific case, there doesn't see

Rejected: Bug#381729: Artistic Licence considered non-free

2008-06-07 Thread Russ Allbery
This proposal (and its current title) were a bit confusingly phrased, but the essence is to request that the Artistic license be replaced by the Artistic 2.0 license in common-licenses. There's another bug (#458385) requesting inclusion of the Artistic 2.0 license that includes more discussion of

2008-06-07 Thread Russ Allbery
This proposal asks to relax the requirements for debian/copyright to permit pointers to info docs that contain the relevant license. There are a few problems with this, some of which were spelled out in the resulting thread. It prevents easily extracting all the relevant copyright files from a se
