Maybe open was the wrong word for that situation. The Developers' Reference suggests there will be an open wnpp bug for a fully NEW package. Why not add to the end of that and cc? > My *personal* experience with this list is just not so that I see a big > value posting to it. (Im mostly a reader on -legal) When hunting for an ftpmaster post, I found a surprising number of licensing problems that get advice, help and/or resolutions in between the few long "thread tennis" games. I think a more active interest from the NEW queue handlers would improve things even further, giving even more practical, useful work. I found one thread started by you on debian-legal ever, "Bug#244289: xball: Package includes non-free source code." You were essentially right, as far as I can tell, so there was no "other opinion" offered. The bug was resolved when the maintainer was convinced too. Other than that, I noticed two posts giving information, although one seemed a bit flamey to me. Why not get a little more experience before generalising? -- MJ Ray (slef), K.
