It seems to me that, for this issue to be solved, we first need a clear consensus on debian-www@ about: - the plan we are going to follow - the license we are going to use It could be a good idea to write a DEP about that, so other developers have a clear document to read and understand (as opposed to a bug log). After consensus is reached on -www@, to move forward with the plan, I don't have a problem with publicly lending authority to someone, so this developer can take care of contacting the former contributors with more authority. Questions about that issue: 1) You seem to think that delegating someone now would be useful. Why? 2) Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña's plan include: | b) old contributors to the web site [..] should be contacted and ask to | agree to this license change. | | c) a note should be added to the Debian site [..] describing the | license change [..] and giving a 6 month period for comments. If some old contributors can't be contacted, would a note on the website visible for 6 months be legally enough to move forward with the license change? Later, you suggested shortening that period. Is this legally possible? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lucas@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lucas@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F |
