Most of the words I've seen have been asking him to change it. Here/there is a request for clarification, but still with a slant toward change. I'm curious where all this will lead, but on the whole I find David Dawes more predictable than the others (so far). It's likely that a well-defined question (for a yes/no answer) would get some results. And as noted before, the appropriate place to ask questions is not in a newsgroup, but in the forum mailing list. (I'm not subscribed to that - don't like interminable arguments ;-). > I refer you to the archives of the xorg_foundation[1] and > debian-legal[2] lists for an accounting of the above.
