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?" -- Magnus Holmgren holmgren@lysator.liu.se (No Cc of list mail needed, thanks)
