No, not beeing Debian makes it only harder, not easier. There may be stuff in it with "Yes, Debian is allowed to distribute it" - which makes it undistributable for anyone else, except he gets the same.

Maybe they analyzed it, or just ignore it and wait if someone plays law-games with them, i dont know. I dont want law-games for me or for our mirrors or for the place where we host the machine, thats not worth the stuff thats in there, so its not added right away. > The best thing is to keep the packages you have now until we find what's going > on.
