I should think that Debian Developers would care if they were in violation of a copyright license on some software they use, which is why I brought this issue up. Perhaps *you* don't use BitKeeper and *you* don't care, but that doesn't mean that other Debian Developers cannot be impacted by the BitKeeper license, which they are particularly likely to encounter if they happen to moonlight as Linux kernel hackers. If I wanted a GR censuring Larry McVoy, I'd have proposed one. As before, maybe you're not complaining about my messages, but those of other people in the thread. If so, then you're contributing to the topic drift you find so irritating, by pontificating about the Social Contract and the Constitution. At least some people in this thread are still discussing technological measures[1], and it would be off-charter to attempt to compel them to migrate their discussion to -vote.
