I'd call statements like yours at putting fellow DDs attitudes at its
worst. There is no point in accusing Charles about not having
understand Debian's philosophy correctly. You would be well advised to
check out Charles very picky work on licenses before becoming agressive
like this. So there is no point in taking a possibly emotional comment
about additional work (compared to a status quo we had before) that was
put on Charles by a new guideline about R packages that are all DFSG
licensed and distributable but just not in the prefered form of
modification.
Kind regards
Andreas.
