Where's the strawman? The suggestion was made that post-Sarge, it would be appropriate to file RC bugs against packages containing graphics without the perferred form for modification being available. I said that this seemed insane, and then justified my opinion by pointing out that it wouldn't have the desired effect. >> We can't simply make pronouncements on which one is correct >> - nobody here has that authority. > > Is that the old "debian-legal has no authority, and that in itself > proves that the debian-legal tradition is wrong" argument? What? No, it's the "debian-legal has no authority, and therefore doesn't get to say 'Debian believes that source code means the preferred form for modification'" argument, which is the same as the "Matthew has no authority, and therefore doesn't get to say 'Debian believes that source code means any form of the work that makes it acceptably easy to modify'" argument. We don't get to make those decisions. The project as a whole does. -- Matthew Garrett | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
