I think that Debian would very much benefit if there was a place (call it [EMAIL PROTECTED] or whatever) where our policy with regard to individual software's licenes could be discussed with the input of those who actually set this policy: the ftpmasters. If debian-legal isn't the place for you (and AFAIK none of the other ftpmasters is a regular), maybe we need a new start and a different format. But it's a pity that there's no way to get the ftpmasters' opinion except by trying, and no regular way at all, it seems, to get the reasons for their decisions.
