The only formal procedures available are:
- Action by the Debian project leader.
- Action by the technical committee - if this issue is deemed
"technical" as opposed to "non-technical". My guess is they would
deem it non-technical and pass the buck.
- Action by the developers as a whole through the General Resolution
procedure.
Additional de facto procedures:
- Acceptance of or failure to accept an upload of a new package with
the given licen[cs]e by the Debian ftp administration team. (Doesn't
help in this case anyway, since you're still drafting.)
- Consensus on the debian-legal list.
In practice, the de facto procedures are always followed.
