Speaking of right and wrong: Have you considered to change the license, so that it better reflects what it's right and what it's wrong? We have "main" and "non-free" sections in the repositories. But we don't have a "morally-non-free" section for software which is legally free to distribute, but "wrong" to modify according to the author. [ For this reason ftpmaster will probably just remove this from Debian ]. So: What would be the problem in actually forbidding to remove the warning? More than one copyright holder? In such case: who of them are to decide what's "right" and what's "wrong"? It is easy to imagine that some contributions were made on the basis that the program would be free, both in the legal sense and the moral sense. Thanks.
