Hello Bill, thank you for the swift reply!Excuse me if I do err, but even after consulting others, this bug seems to be open.
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1013195And from an uninitiated perspective it seems like the policy team never looked at this bug. So the best solution for this specific bug would be to leave a comment with a hint to the history and then close it?

While I am open to have the big topic (of why we don't just put all licenses know to man in every language put into the common-licences folder and then refer from the debian/copyright file to that folder/files instead of putting the whole license text into every package itself) I prefer to keep it at a specific example in case of this bug. This bug was assigned at Mon, 03 Oct 2022 22:03:07 GMT to debian-policy. It seems it was not getting attention from the debian-policy team since 6 months.The rule we follow is that the license need to be used by a non negligible percentage of packages. It is not the first time a bug report ask to add the AGPL. Last time the statistic was computed, the AGPL did not cut it, so the bug was closed. Cheers, Bill
