You know, beyond the initial offensiveness, this is actually a pretty remarkable statement. In 2006, we had: - a resolution on the DFSG-free status of the GFDL - a resolution of the licensing problems preventing us from distributing Java at all, including, eventually, legal advice via SPI to that effect - DFSG-free updates to creative commons licenses - new draft of the GFDL resolving Debian's other concerns - a resolution on how we approach sourceless firmware - Java licensed under the GPL - a recommendation to SPI on a free copyright license and more free trademark handling for our logos that's since been acted on, and is now just pending an announcement by the DPL All of those have been causing problems for Debian users for years; if you don't find getting actual solutions to those sorts of legal issues "fun", maybe you're in the wrong business. Cheers, aj
