As I said, I thought that adding a reference to the explanation provided by the ftp masters could be useful. I did not know whether you were aware of the existence of that explanation, hence I did not know my answer would be perceived as redundant. > > > and what I myself think. > > I absolutely am NOT interested in your personal opinion. > Heck, I looked it up: you’re not even a Debian Developer! Does it make any difference, when it comes to assessing the validity of a license analysis? I mean: would my license analyses become automatically more valid, if I were a DD? Would you instantly become interested in my personal opinion, if I were a DD? Why? Why not? > If you want to make changes and care about licencing, how > about being constructive and starting on that path, Which path? Becoming a DD? Why should I become a DD? So that, once I am a DD, I will feel allowed to treat non-DDs with the same snobbishness you showed with me?!? You're definitely *not* encouraging me to become member of the Debian Project. You are *not* making me feel welcome. > then > working together with ftpmasters on resolving all these > issues? I *did* try to discuss the AfferoGPL (and also other licenses) with the ftp masters: http://bugs.debian.org/495721#28 They don't seem to be willing to reply to counter-arguments. > (Again, I personally do not think AGPL, and possibly > even GPL, are fully DFSG free either, and I’ve got a totally > different opinion on firmware, with backing, but when I act > as Debian Developer sponsoring a prospective NM’s packages, > I act with DD hat on, not by using my own opinions.) You are going on expressing your own personal opinions on various topics, while flaming me for having expressed my own personal opinion on the topic of this thread. This looks very awkward to me.

(Hey, that’s my job! ☺) I am not disagreeing "on principle". I agree with some decisions, I disagree with some other ones. Are you claiming that you are the *only one* allowed to express disagreement? > > Anyway: stop annoying people like that and try to be constructive > by changing the official project stance on those problematic > licences from within as an option. But first, “shut up”. How can I change the project decisions, if I "shut up"? I cannot telepathically act on the ftp masters' minds... I am really puzzled. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! ..................................................... Francesco Poli .
