I have no problems with your post to d-d-a, I found it quite informative.
What bothers me is that you used the phrase 'on behalf of the debian
project' when asking someone who appears to have done something legally
questionable to disclose a private email conversation.

You could have said that you were leading a discussion within Debian on
the merits of BK and would like Mr. Hansen to publish his conversation.
That would have at least made it quite clear Debian has nothing to do with
this request.
I mean really, what if Larry's Laywer gets upset that Mr Hansen's
conversation has been make public? He sent it to you, someone who claims
to be representing Debian _and you published it_.
Debian is now involved in this dispute, and I think that is entirely
inappropriate.
