sorry if I come across as dismissive,
No, this is fine. My situation is kind of delicate. ;)
I am not a DM and know nearly nothing about it but try to provide a tool
for the DM workflow.
I can only encourage every DM (and others) to comment on the current
state of "spdx2debian"
and the REUSE standard behind it.
The tool is of course invented to solve a problem. But it also was my
goal to somehow encourage
a discussion and progress in this copyright-nightmare DMs have to deal
with. That is why I force
to be 100%-SPD-compliant, to make people think about SPDX.
I am sure "spdx2debian" will be kept as an exotic/edge tool in Debian
for the next years. But it
might encourage some persons and projects to get their license and
copyright situation cleaned
up. I took over a 17 year old upstream project (Back In Time) myself and
also have to deal
with this nightmare. I don't want to load that sh*** on DMs. It is IMHO
upstream responsibility
and every upstream maintainer can be glad to get included in the
official Debian repo.
Regards,
Christian
