I don't think this is among the goals of debian-legal. Can you remember discussions on debian-legal regarding new developments in kernel space, or about JPEG implementations? But IIRC there were extensive discusssions about mplayer's copyright (not patent) status and about the LZW compression algorithm. There are other factors (besides being risk averse) that control the outcome of such discussions. -- Current mail filters: many dial-up/DSL/cable modem hosts, and the following domains: atlas.cz, bigpond.com, postino.it, tiscali.co.uk, tiscali.cz, tiscali.it, voila.fr.
