Re: Inclusion of PDF with CC Attr 3.0 license

So my personal point of view is that shipping the PDF in the source package is harmless, shipping it in a binary package is close to useless, and we should let the package maintainer chose the solution that he finds most suitable.

Thanks for your reply.

I understand your arguments, but I am not sure I agree with your suggestion. Debian excels for having policies. Policies may not be perfect, but should be followed or, if they are not appropriate, be changed. I do not know whether it is productive to let the decision about debatable matters at the discretion of the package maintainer.

Best,

Rafael
