Are you sure it is a binding contract? Shall it be a binding
contract for, say, CompUSA? Shall it be a binding contract with the
end user? In other words, can a letter from them make null and void
the licence, which seems to say other wise?
I am not a lawyer, and I don't know. I do have a house I am
attached to.
As to whether it is pursued or not, I prefer not to have
Debian violate licences, just becuse "oh, they say they won't sue."
If really there intent is other than what their licence
states, they should change the licence.
