Osamu, please realize that I am external to the Debian Project: I filed
a bug report, I am not the one who is primarily supposed to fix the
bug...
I understand that, in a volunteer project, things get done when it's
possible and by people most interested in getting them done.  On the
other hand, treating me as if I were responsible for the resolution of
this bug does *not* seem fair...

We are already *inside* a bug log!
Since it's about a severe violation of Debian policy, it's a serious bug
(even though it was gratuitously granted an etch-ignore tag...).

Lower priority?!?
Fixing RC bugs should not be considered as lower priority...

Urgently?!?
I filed the bug report back on October 2005...

I'm simply asking for some encouraging agreements to the licensing.
After that, I will be able to start digging in the CVS logs and building
a comprehensive list of individual copyright holders.
With such a list, I will be able to contact the copyright holders and
ask them to agree to the licensing.

I appreciate *any* help on this issue.
Bickering is not helpful, though: let's stop doing so and move on
collecting agreements to the licensing so that this issue can be solved
for lenny!
