Marco, Fair correction — I was treating debian-legal as a venue that could "resolve" this, which it can't. Noted, and I appreciate the history/context.
Setting that aside, the substantive question I'd still like an answer to, from anyone with more legal background who wants to take it: given that AFC-style analysis is apparently impractical to do credibly without litigation-grade work, is there a realistic middle ground for a project like this, or does "we can't practically rule this out" functionally disqualify it from archive inclusion as things currently stand? Daniel raised that distinction earlier in the thread and I'd genuinely like to understand where the real floor is — independent of which list, if any, is the right place to settle it.
