Thank you for your dedication to ensuring freedom for software recipients. I will make time later today for a better response, but for now: * This forum, ‘debian-legal’, has no special authority nor special qualifications. We are a discussion forum to help the FTPMaster team, who *do* have that authority but are limited in their capacity to deal with these discussions. * The response to situations such as you describe is, generally, “choose a widely-used, free software license whose conditions are already well-understood in the free software community”. Fortunately, this doesn't require special authority or qualifications to recommend :-) -- \ “If history and science have taught us anything, it is that | `\ passion and desire are not the same as truth.” —E.
