Please note that we are talking about the Debian website <http://www.debian.org> and its copyright notice and license <http://www.debian.org/license>. Hence I would tend to think that the Debian Live Manual todo list <http://live.debian.net/devel/live-manual/todo/> is *not* the most appropriate place for talking about the re-licensing of the Debian website... > > If its (re)licencing 'our own stuff' - so be it. > > > If you are willing to help me in generating a reliable list of > > copyright holders for the Debian website (I think the place to look at > > is the WWW CVS), I can draft a standardized e-mail message to send to > > each one of them and collect their replies (those replies should be > > sent to the e-mail address of bug #238245 or maybe #388141). > > Yes willing to help. > I'll mail you once I start to locate enough copyright holders. I think we should start this discussion over on the bug log of #238245, where it really belongs. So, if you are willing to help in generating a reliable list of copyright holders for the Debian website, please say so here and I'll move the discussion to the bug log of #238245. > > [...] > > disappointed by the lack of strictness with which the Debian SC (or > > even the law) is complied with within the Debian Project. :-( > > Personally I'm not happy about the position on GFDL - but thats an > unrelated matter I guess.
