Yes. Holder on Debian's behalf. You folks are in the driver's seat.
They probably have something to contribute regarding the form of license, but as far as I can tell all you need is to add explicit permission to copy, redistribute (including sell), and modify.Was also advised to e-mail trademark lists.
I feel it's best for the copyright and trademark license to be separate licenses. We need to be able to give full copyright rights while continuing to restrict the trademark rights connected to the limited-use license. If we mix the copyright and trademark licenses together, we are potentially giving permission to modify the open-use mark into the limited-use mark, which would be a bad idea.
I am fine with being on the list, but please refrain from blaming SPI for this not being done. There were a number of comments to that effect attached to the bug report.Do you want us to remove you guys off this thread until we settle the score?
I would hope debian-legal, and copy the trademark team but as far as I'm aware you don't have to take orders from them.Anyone know who it is we are really supposed to be addressing this request to then? Debian-legal, any more advice?
Thanks Bruce
