The only formal procedures available are: - Action by the Debian project leader. - Action by the technical committee - if this issue is deemed "technical" as opposed to "non-technical". My guess is they would deem it non-technical and pass the buck. - Action by the developers as a whole through the General Resolution procedure. Additional de facto procedures: - Acceptance of or failure to accept an upload of a new package with the given licen[cs]e by the Debian ftp administration team. (Doesn't help in this case anyway, since you're still drafting.) - Consensus on the debian-legal list. In practice, the de facto procedures are always followed.
