That's right, I apologize for using misleading words (being an English
native speaker would have helped here, but I'm not!).

When I said "they delegate to debian-legal partecipants" I didn't mean
that they delegate the decision-making (that is to say "this package
belongs in main, that other one belongs in non-free, and so forth"):
that is indeed up to the ftpmasters to decide.
What I meant was that they delegate the /legal analysis and discussion/;
they delegate the /advisory role/.
