Hi all, I've been looking at the apt sources.list snippets included in the census and despite my prodding late last month, there are still five distributions that do not provide source packages despite offering binary packages. In one case I've even found users complaining on their distribution's forums about this. I've verified that in each of the cases where I can't find source packages, there are LGPL or GPL binary packages listed in the derivative's Packages files. So not only are some of our derivatives not living up to FLOSS principles, but a few are likely even violating licenses and copyright law. Please note that I only checked the derivatives with a sources.list snippet and with no deb-src lines in their sources.list. I still need to check those distributions who don't have sources.list snippets in the census and for the ones with deb-src lines, check that the deb-src lines match the deb lines. Now, my question is; what should Debian do about this if anything? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
