He, i can inform you that in our "small team" as Andreas would say, for which
i came to post 300+ mails to -legal in order to not get our 50+ packages moved
to non-free without warning over a couple of dissident or other bogus tests,
there is a big concensus that -legal is not thrustable and no real help in
DFSG freeness. My own experience shows that this is something shared by a not
so small part of the DDs, and i told you so on -legal back then too.

Many DDs only want to package their package in peace, and not get dragged info
a many-thousand -legal flamewar over imagined DFSG non-compliance and bogus
tests.
