Re: Bug #207932 - emacs21: Includes non-free documents
Followup for :
http://bugs.debian.org/207932
Thanks you for helping debian tracks licencing issues. Though this
bug looks like an extension of the GFDL issue to some non
documentation texts. This have not been agreed upon by
debian-legal (in fact as far as i know "licences" and such
documents have been explicitely exclude from the need to be DSFG
free ).
Again thank you for taking part in this time consuming task.
Please ask on debian-legal when you encounter new types of
documents not being explicitely stated in previous consensus
(even if closely related).
By the way it is not a bad thing to track those "not agreed upon" documents
licence issues. Though please keep the talks about them on
debian-legal. Maintainers do another jobs which is fixing bugs
and making debian easier to use. Most of them don't want to hours
looking after advanced legal issues. That s why debian-legal
exists :)
By the way even if a consensus is reached on debian-legal it
would be helpfull to make a separate listing of those documents
and discuss it with the release team and debian-devel. But please
not the other way around. I would call it hijacking debian-legal.
I guess this bug can be closed as "out of topic" for the bts.
Regards
Alban
