It's hard to predict how much longer it is going to take. We are basically waiting for the FSF to get back to us, but there have been various delays because RMS broke his arm, and the SCO disaster, etc. However, Bradley Kuhn (Vice-President of the FSF) and Eben Moglen (FSF's lawyer) share some of our concerns and I am confident, from talking to them, that they are truly interested in resolving this issue. What I'll do and what I've done to resolve this: I approached Bradley Kuhn last year and arranged a face to face meeting in Boston, and later when Bdale was in Boston I asked him to discuss this issue with Bradley again. Later, I helped opening constructive communication between Debian and the FSF by appointing Mako Hill and Don Armstrong as our representatives to the FSF about this matter. Since then, I regularly stay in contact with them, and continually ask Don for the status and ask him to stay in contact with Eben. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
