Can we move forward on this then if we incorporate Alex's changes and these suggestions? I'll provide a few pointers for a stronger argument for the next one you have (if you don't mind) ;-) You made the statement that the FSDG wasn't clear enough on the subject to make a decision and was open for interpretation. Then you made use of "case law" referring to the guix package -S thread. You also made the statement: > I am just claiming that the two things above are equivalent and that as > a consequence we can't refuse one and accept the other. I am not > discussing the "why", only applying logic. I would have expected you to provide a compelling argument for why these things are equivalent, since it wasn't obvious to me. Making use of case law is a valid argument, but you'd have to explain why and how it applies to cast reasonable doubt that this is a FSDG issue. IMO you did not do so sufficiently to merit escalating the discussion to a different mailing list. David
