For the purposes of this discussion, I'm agnostic on that issue (even though I happen to agree), because it isn't really the point. The fact is, according to the GR, the official debian position is that you (and I) are wrong. Unless you're working on another GR to get that changed there isn't much point in discussing it in the context of the DFSG. So I call the interpretation mandated by the GR "generous" to distinguish it from "literal", which it clearly isn't. Of course, the question of whether we have the legal right to distribute GFDL stuff given debian's infrastructure is another issue, and ftp-masters would be ill-advised to follow the GR if there's serious doubt on that subject. -- Jeremy Hankins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP fingerprint: 748F 4D16 538E 75D6 8333 9E10 D212 B5ED 37D0 0A03 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
