Do you see then, since no ordinary man can compel the Debian project to do
*anything*, that the question and its answer are quite pointless? Perhaps
someone simply confused the somewhat similar words "compel" and "convince"?
How would that substitution change your answer? What if the question was
rephrased as "Is there any way for me to get a second opinion?" or "Is
debian-legal really the final authority or who takes the definitive
decision?"
