We have to remove illegal stuff anyways, there is no way around it. Can
you please drop that point in the discussion.
Reading the resolution, it clearly tells us the stuff which has a
DFSG-conformant license, e.g. BSD, is ok, independend of source. Unless
we know otherwise, I would assume that whatever was put in the source by
the upstream author, is meant to be source if licenses requires a
source.
So, I only think we have to strip of:
a) stuff illegally to distribute (there is *nothing* which helps you
around on that);
b) stuff where the author doesn't want it to be DFSG-free;
Cheers,
Andi
