I welcome comments constructive criticism. Friendly invitation. No legal impact. Is this explicitely free enough for inclusion in Debian's main section? May this be the content of a debian/copyright file? Absolutely, this is consistent with past practice.

It is clear he means to allow redistribution, although he doesn't explicitly say so. I guess some one could argue that that might be a problem, but I don't think so, given the tone of the rest of the statement. -- - | ,''`.Stephen Gran | | : :' :[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `. `'Debian user, admin, and developer | |`- http://www.debian.org | - signature.asc Description: Digital signature
