Related question: Since the source package consists of orig.tar.gz and a .diff, how would one "remove the convenience copy from the original source"? The policy seems to speak only to *use* of the convenience copy, not exclusion. "Removing" it would seem to leave the original copy in the tarball, and a *second* copy (with a bunch of - in front) in the diff. This is for a case where the package will function without the convenience copy (it's optional functionality), and the convenience copy code is patent-encumbered (not truly Free, and thus better not to distribute at all) while the rest of the package is Free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
