Hi, In the version of the transmission bittorrent client in wheezy there is a disclaimer popup displayed on the first run, basically telling the user "your responsibility", but with an "agree" button which may make it look more like an additional license. My questions: 1) does this qualify as breaking point 7 of the DFSG? (or, in fact, any other point I may have overlooked). If yes, would renaming the button to something like "I understand" improve the situation? 2) upstream probably does this to try and shift liability. Obviously IANAL, but does this even make sense? Do we have any precedence to convince upstream to drop this annoyance on the grounds that it's useless? (and here I'm hoping it *is* useless) 3) this may be a question for -devel, but do we have a public stand on click-through disclaimers or even EULAs? Somewhere we could point upstream for the pros/cons/consequences of such things? Thanks! -- Leo "costela" Antunes [insert a witty retort here]
