But who's saying that Debian will follow OSAID? Historically, it is OSI
that has followed Debian, not the other way around. And the only mention
of "open source" in our founding documents is to point out that the OSD
was based on the DFSG; everything else is about "free software". AFAICT
OSI decisions do not influence Debian policies in any way.

Re: GR, I'd be totally fine with one. (And I'd personally vote in favor
of a text that states that Debian-acceptable ML models should come with
DFSG-compliant training datasets.) I just not want to use the GR tool as
a hammer against a delegated team if no override is needed.

I don't understand your argument that this decision is not in the realm
of the ftpmaster activities. How could it *not* be, given they are the
team deciding NEW queue acceptance, and that most notably they do so
based on licensing aspects?

Cheers
