Hi,
It has been pointed out to me by a DFSG team member that the license of
the dbconfig-common documentation is not suitable for Debian. The
problematic part is paragraph 9 and particularly this requirement:
"""
If You distribute copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You
must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the
express assent of recipients to the terms of this License.
"""
I'll do a tiny effort to contact Sean Finney for a re-license, by asking
if anybody has contact information about him, but I don't have high hopes.
Paul
