As I wasn't around when the DFSG was drafted, it would be nice to hear from those who were (yes, I'm too lazy to dig into the archive). There are two possible explanations to having GPL and BSD listed as examples: 1. GPL and BSD are DFSG-free licenses, thus you can use them to compare other licenses to. 2. GPL and BSD were grandfathered into being possible licenses to Debian, even though they are not DFSG-free. In this case you obviously cannot compare other licenses to them. -- * Sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology (T.P) * * PGP public key available @ http://www.iki.fi/killer * -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
