Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/hydrogen-music/documentation/issues/73 Dear Francesco, I've enjoyed reading and learning from your analyses on debian-legal, and I'm happy it was you who noticed this issue and filed this bug! [edit: sorry for the delay, it seems I forgot to send this draft 22 Dec 2022] There is hope, and GPL2+ licensed docs are pending, but upstream may not be able to meet our deadlines. I suspect a statement of yours upstream may expedite the process ;) tldr: It looks to me like the remaining two old contributors contributed documentation under GPL2+ and that there isn't any need to rubber-stamp the new documentation subproject, because their contributions remain inherently GPL2+ licensed, because that license could not have been legally stripped by moving their work from the GPL2+ Hydrogen project to the accidentally license-less period of the Hydrogen/Documentation subproject. In terms of strategy/plan, a near-empty bin:hydrogen-doc in src:hydrogen keeps the door open for this: In the event upstream is too slow, we populate src:hydrogen's bin:hydrogen-doc with the new documentation from the upstream "Hydrogen/Documentation" subproject during the freeze. If upstream moves quickly enough then it may be possible to for a src:hydrogen-documentation upload to experimental that takes over bin:hydrogen-docs to clear the NEW queue; after that, it would be possible to drop bin:hydrogen-docs from src:hydrogen package in unstable. To be honest, I'm not sure if there will be enough time for an ideal solution, and I'm not convinced that a separate NEW src:hydrogen-documentation package would be ideal, but I preemptively filed an RFP (with context) in case someone preferred[s] this solution and wanted[s] to start work on it: https://bugs.debian.org/1020936 I'd be totally OK with you (or someone else) taking up the baton for these two interrelated bugs. (1025375 and 1020936) Cheers, Nicholas
