Re: ITP seahorse
Is there any Policy objection to calling these CDs "US-exportable" and
"International and US domestic use (not US-exportable)" instead of
"US" and "non-US" as is commonly said? I cannot find anything in Policy
which explicity names the CD images, as opposed to parts of the archive.
Since a US CD vendor would probably want to make disks containing the
non-US packages for sale within the US to domestic addresses, and anyone
outside the US would probably also want to make disks containing the
non-US packages for sale to everyone, it seems that almost nothing would
be accomplished by making physical CDs from the US-exportable images.
The only real use for the US-exportable images is for posting onto US
servers for electronic distribution. Calling the images "US" and "non-US"
will likely have the undesirable effect of causing most US vendors who are
not in tune with Debian's internal terminology to (incorrectly) press the
"US" version for domestic sale.
