The -legal regulars are very likely to be interested in this issue. The ftpmasters effectively delegate interpretation as to what is "free enough for main" to -legal much of the time, perhaps since it usually is tied up with license interpretation. So many -legal regulars have been involved in interpreting the DFSG and the Social Contract. Indeed, some were involved in the drafting of the most recent version of the Social Contract. Accordingly, -legal regulars are very likely to have productive and helpful comments on the issue, and also to have strong opinions. Accordingly, I thought that it was a good idea to *notify* -legal of the discussion taking place on -project and elsewhere, since I suspect that not all of the -legal regulars follow those lists. I don't really have any objection to the discussion taking place on -project or elsewhere; I just thought -legal should be given a heads-up. I noticed only because I follow -release. I'm sure you agree that this is reasonable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
