Actually, the base-files package is under the GPL itself, so it's not a random inclusion. It applies to several copyrightable pieces like /usr/share/doc/base-files/FAQ or /usr/share/doc/base-files/README.base -- and even if it wasn't the case, you can take a random string of bits, license it under the GPL and plop into the package. You can do that as every single license there is GPL-compatible. In other words, no exception within the DFSG is needed.
Never noticed that actually, I always assumed base-files was mostly PD. -- Andrew Donnellan http://andrewdonnellan.com http://ajdlinux.blogspot.com Jabber - ajdlinux@jabber.org.au GPG - hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0x5D4C0C58 ------------------------------- Member of Linux Australia - http://linux.org.au Debian user - http://debian.org Get free rewards - http://ezyrewards.com/?id=23484 OpenNIC user - http://www.opennic.unrated.net
