Re: Bug#35510: mirror license seems Debian-specific



reopen 35510
reassign 35510 debian-policy
thanks

Summary of the bug report:

If mirror license is not Debian-specific, its license should explicitly
allow distribution of the program in modified form, by point #4 in
the DFSG.

The maintainer asked the author about being ok that *Debian* 
distributes mirror as a .deb and as a .orig plus .diff.

IMHO, the way the question was formulated makes the "ok" from the author
to be Debian-specific, but the maintainer disagrees.

Following Ian's proposed policy for "controversial" bug reports,
I'm reassigning this one to "debian-policy".

Thanks.
