Yesterday, I did a survey of all licenses in Debian, which among other things attempted to locate all uses of this license by either its title (case-insensitive and whitespace-insensitive) or via the DEP-5 format. The result was 52 binary packages in the archive using CC-BY 3.0 and 79 binary packages in the archive using CC-BY-SA 3.0. While we don't have any strict criteria for inclusion in common-licenses, this is well shy of the least-used license already present (the GFDL, at 875 binary packages). I don't believe either of these licenses used nearly frequently enough to warrant inclusion in common-licenses. I'm marking this bug as rejected accordingly, although it will stay open for a while in case anyone disagrees and wants to make a case for its inclusion. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
