4-clause BSD (i.e. with the advertising clause) isn't a distribution problem in itself; from a brief glance at the copyright file I couldn't work out why it was in multiverse. Does anyone have background on that? However, 4-clause BSD is incompatible with the GPL. We could grant an exception for Canonical-owned code, but we'd then have to make sure we never used any external GPL code. It probably wouldn't be worth the hassle. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
