eh, I feel your pain... e.g. now I was thinking to re-upload pystatsmodels which was already once rejected due to my omission of mentioning copyright with restrictive license on some quite factual DB.
unfortunately IMHO we (Debian) are not in position to provide such legal service to the community as to claim that something is not copyrightable (e.g., are you sure it is not in all jurisdictions?) in contradiction to the author's original copyright/license claim. We can only contact "upstream" and try clarifying/changing various license issues (in my case above the author is already R.I.P... heh), strip such questionable materials or complement them by shipping in non-free... I see no other way around. Cheers, On Wed, 20 Jul 2011, Charles Plessy wrote: > To me, the contents of the records above look factual.
