I didn't mean to imply that this has been discussed within Debian. There
has been a fair amount of discussion on the web though, with several
controversial issues:
* The previous licensing under LGPL-with-strings-attached [1]
* The sudden relicensing from LGPL to GPL [2]
* The current GPL-with-conditions license.
In particular see the comments by Ext JS founder Jack Slocum [1], who
was clearly opposed to redistribution under LGPL (this was before the
switch to GPL).
See also the Wikipedia talk page [3].
Cheers,
Marcus
