I am sorry, this is not exactly true. Proposition was not only to include
this file, but also to require from maintainer of the package to request
license change from the author and include the answer or 2 e-mails to the
author sent over the period of 1 month or so. And there was mostly
negative response to that.

Sure, we desperately need a policy manager.
But who would step up... (Manoj?)
