Because debian-legal is the public mailing list where Debian, as a whole, evolves its understanding of whether a particular license meets the requirements of the DFSG. As long as the mailing list remains in existence, it's the right place to hold such discussions - not privately with the ftpmasters, which would leave no record of the ftpmasters' decision-making process. The random-subscriber-opinion effect is a real problem. Bypassing our public processes is not the way to solve it. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
