        I think you are correct. Could you please write up a
 replacement text for that? And possibly a paragraph expanding on your
 views on the fact that licence issues decide where a package goes? We
 need to fix that area of policy, and your contribution can be the
 kernel of a proposal to do that.

        thanks,
