I don't recall reading any warning about the fact that the "License" wiki page was just a relicensing proposal or a place for discussing possible future license changes (assuming that this is the reason why the "License" page of the official website for PySoy was inconsistent with the actual licensing status of PySoy...). I am sorry for not cross-checking before talking about what I found out. On the other hand, making things clearer on your side would have avoided misleading me (and others) into thinking that you had used section 7b of GNU GPL v3 to impose specific restrictions. > > Again, a reaction to content on a wiki page without bothering to read that > no "extra clauses" were ever applied and have never appeared in the svn > trunk nor any release. I am not exactly sure I understand what you mean by "reaction". The thread I started back on September 2007 on debian-legal was just an informative discussion on the additional restrictions I found on that "License" page (now you inform us that those restrictions never were added to PySoy, but we were unaware of this at the time...).

You should not be upset with people reading the official website of PySoy and assuming that information found there is accurate, in absence of evidence to the contrary... Moreover, as my usual disclaimers state, IANADD & TINASOTODP. In other words, I am not a member of the Debian Project and I don't speak on its behalf. As a consequence, you should not draw conclusions on the Debian Project on the basis of what I say... -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/index.html#nanodocs The nano-document series is here! .....................................................
