Because I've been unable to get feedback from Thorsten Alteholz or any
of the other FTP masters about this issue, I'm now directing this to
debian-legal in the hope we can get a dialog going between the Debian
project and the OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium).
Thank you for your dedication to ensuring freedom for software
recipients.
I will make time later today for a better response, but for now:
* This forum, ‘debian-legal’, has no special authority nor special
qualifications. We are a discussion forum to help the FTPMaster team,
who *do* have that authority but are limited in their capacity to deal
with these discussions.
* The response to situations such as you describe is, generally, “choose
a widely-used, free software license whose conditions are already
well-understood in the free software community”. Fortunately, this
doesn't require special authority or qualifications to recommend :-)
