Re: filters: Licence problems
My answer to exercise 1: since you have quoted text, rule (2) says you must
not comply with rule (6), but rule (3) says you must comply with all even
rules (including, presumably, 6). This seems to imply that no message
containing quotations would be allowed.
I'm not sure if that's only true when you start with one or more implicit
assumption, but then again, I'm not sure if you complied with rule (6)
anyway.
So I guess it sounds like a pretty decent set of arbitrary rules. I second
the motion, and hereby propose that we apply them to debian-devel as well.
We can call them the "Debian Grumpy Pooper Guidelines (DGPG)."
Have fun,
Avery
