Yes, if I understand correctly then Raul Miller's text on the voting
system used (including handling of supermajorities) was never
explicitly licensed under a DFSG-free license.  I do not see Raul on
the list of people being contacted for http://bugs.debian.org/388141
--- I am not even sure if he had an alioth account --- and meanwhile I
think it would be worthwhile to find his wishes to get the license of
this foundational document clear.

I might have not looked carefully enough, but from a quick glance,
that seemed to come from GPL-2 source (the documentation is maintained
with the rest of the debbugs codebase).

That's fine with me.  I mostly meant to give a summary for Francesco
of the current status of these documents.  I also agree with you that
the /licenses page online should be updated when their license status
is clear, not just doc-debian's copyright file.

Thanks for the quick feedback.
