Well, even though the issue with doc-debian is definitely part of the larger issue with the official Debian website (www.debian.org), I think that solving the part that affects doc-debian (a package shipped in Debian main, as I said!) should be carried on at a higher priority. I think that the copyright holders for the documents shipped in doc-debian should be tracked down and contacted, in order to ask (persuade) them to agree to the re-licensing under the disjunction "Expat or GPL-2+" (as is being done, I hope!, for the rest of www.debian.org). The collected "OK" answers should of course be contributed to the www.debian.org re-licensing effort. I hope this can be done in the short term. Thanks a lot for taking this issue seriously!
