Fair enough. To be honest, I was expecting either instant vocal dissent or support in -legal. My personal feeling is that it's legally safe (given that we used a tool explicitly designed to be used by application devs, and without restrictive TOS) but in the end we need some consensus Debian-side. So we'll wait (at least for French) for feedback.
On a pure trivia side, and more closely related to translations, we have a neat tool called NightMonkey which enables us to translate and validate the descriptions by order of magnitude (ie their popcon and rating in the software centre) and keyword. Eg: http://nightmonkey.ubuntu.hu/#release=raring&language=fr&view=app&repo=universe&isok=false&rownumber=100&sortpopcon=dsc&packagename=&page=1 The source code is available if you'd like to tweak it for Debian use (will probably require tweaking both the tool and ddtp web interface). https://launchpad.net/ddtp-lp-html Pierre -- [email protected] 2013/4/25 Christian PERRIER <[email protected]> > Quoting Pierre Slamich ([email protected]): > > I've received a rather clear and positive answer from the legal team of > the > > FSFE. > > I've posted it on debian-legal: > > http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2013/04/msg00019.html > > I suggest you wait a bit for feedback from the thread in -legal.
