Hi, I just studied the Debian Free Software Guidelines, in search of a statement about so called "Software Patents", and how they are considered when including software into the debian archive.
However, I could not find anything about that topic. Is this intentionally left out? If yes, why? Are the guidelines implicitly sufficient when dealing with such issues? If yes, it would be nice to have a pointer to some kind of FAQ document, that outlines how the DFSG are to be interpreted in respect to this topic? Is there a consensus in the debian community about how to deal with "Software Patents" and the inclusion of software into the debian archive? If yes, is this consensus documented somewhere? Thanks, for your help.
