The thread I was referring to here is http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/12/msg00037.html It was started as an attempt to get clarification from FSF on the issue raised in http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2006/11/msg00101.html Well, I recently (on monday 12 february) got a *private* response from one kind Licensing Compliance Engineer from FSF. He confirmed that the license statement is ambiguous and problematic. The recommended course of action is getting in touch with the licensor(s) in order to obtain clarification on their intentions and encourage them to rewrite the license statement in a clearer way. I'm going to file a (normal severity) bug against the bootcd package to request that the license statement is clarified. -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html Need to refresh your keyring in a piecewise fashion? .....................................................
