Hi, I'm the prospective maintainer of s5, a very simple HTML/CSS/JavaScript presentation system, as witnessed by ITP #484485 and a sample package at http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/s/s5/s5_1.1-1.dsc Most of S5 is explicitly released into the public domain. However, there is a single file in a not-quite-essential part of the source tree that has a CC BY-SA 2.0 license notice. ISTR that a while ago there were some discussions about some of the CC licenses not being quite free; what is the current status of the CC BY-SA version 2.0 license? I cannot find it in the list of licenses on the new copyright format page, http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat - is this simply because no one has bothered to add it, or because it is actively frowned upon? The way I see it, there are two courses open to me now: - just list the file and its license in debian/copyright; - do a DFSG-repackaging of the source tree, removing the theme that contains this file, thus forfeiting a minor non-essential part of the S5 functionality. Which of these would be more suited to The Debian Way? Of course, in both cases I will contact Eric Meyer, the upstream author, for some clarification and possible dropping this license in future releases, actually making the whole of S5 public-domain, as the docs say :) G'luck, Peter -- Peter Pentchev roam@ringlet.net roam@cnsys.bg roam@FreeBSD.org PGP key: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~roam/roam.key.asc Key fingerprint FDBA FD79 C26F 3C51 C95E DF9E ED18 B68D 1619 4553 I am not the subject of this sentence.
