Maybe open was the wrong word for that situation. The
Developers' Reference suggests there will be an open wnpp bug
for a fully NEW package. Why not add to the end of that and cc?

When hunting for an ftpmaster post, I found a surprising number
of licensing problems that get advice, help and/or resolutions
in between the few long "thread tennis" games. I think a more
active interest from the NEW queue handlers would improve things
even further, giving even more practical, useful work.
I found one thread started by you on debian-legal ever,
"Bug#244289: xball: Package includes non-free source code."
You were essentially right, as far as I can tell, so there was
no "other opinion" offered. The bug was resolved when the
maintainer was convinced too.
Other than that, I noticed two posts giving information,
although one seemed a bit flamey to me. Why not get a
little more experience before generalising?
