Yes, sorry. That was a mis-copy. I already commented the real URL in
this issue (bug#775436).

I sent this question via ITS (on GitHub) of this project.

I think it is not going farther than XBill. Permitting of XBill and
forbidding of XLennart making double standards. Forbid both or permit both.

Moreover I don't see any offense or problem if somebody will create game
XDmitryYuOkunev (Dmitry Yu Okunev is my name). And what does Debian
constitution says? It forbids such packages?

I don't like mix politics and FOSS. FOSS is freedom. IMHO, nobody should
forbid anybody to distribute any free package due to politics or
something like this. Sorry if Debian thinks another way.


Right now personally my interest is to learn how to Debianize projects
(create and maintain Debian packages). So I won't protect this project.
There's a great lot of another software for such practice :)


Best regards, Dmitry.
