This argument applies equally to every interpretation of the DFSG, and therefore reduces to "The DFSG cannot be applied to anything". Reduction ad absurdum, etc; it's wrong. > I personally don't think that -legal does a good enough job of communicating > with the rest of the project, and I know I'm not the only one. Right, there's at least two or three of you running around and trying to undermine the project. Cut it out. This idiotic attempt to create discord is not productive; it's somewhere between trolling and deliberate sabotage. -legal is a fucking mailing list. It's nonsensical to say it "doesn't communicate with the rest of the project". Anybody can subscribe and follow the discussions, and there are public archives. Anybody who is interested should do so. This is not a cabal or a clique, the project is not divided into departments, and there is nothing secret about it. -legal exists because a fair number of people are not interested and wanted to get the discussions away from other mailing lists. These people are by definition not interested, and therefore it's stupid to complain that they weren't informed; they had the choice, and *they* chose not to. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
