That doesn't seem to be a question that addresses Andreas's argument (as I understand it). I don't see Andreas arguing for anyone but the copyright holder to have control of the *package*. Rather, a more germane question would be: Who has the right to control *which* packages get indexed at PyPI (of all those that might be submitted to the index)? My understanding is that Andreas is arguing that PyPI does, and should, have that control; and that control can be exercised in different ways. -- \ “Often, the surest way to convey misinformation is to tell the | `\ strict truth.” —Mark Twain, _Following the Equator_ | _o__) | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
