Please, guys. He isn't saying he has final say in whether or not the Sun RPC code is DFSG-free; he's just saying it shouldn't hold up the release. If you think it should, then please, by all means, write a replacement for the Sun RPC code, release it under the GPL, and convince the glibc maintainers to use that (untested) of code. Which will likely hold up the release for another couple of months. I'm sure none of us wants that. If I'm wrong, and you do want that, then stop the bickering, and start hacking that RPC code. After all, this lit may be discussing licenses on a daily basis, that doesn't give you any authority either.
