It's in many respects better to include the license directly in debian/copyright, since it keeps all the legal information in one place. common-licenses is primarily an optimization of archive space and disk space so that we don't include thousands of copies of licenses like the GNU GPL. Because of this, the primary criteria for inclusion in common-licenses is how widespread the license is within Debian. Usually it needs to be used in at least hundreds of packages before being considered eligible for inclusion. How many packages currently use the SIL OFL? I don't appear to have any installed on my local system. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
