It's not all that unusual for conferences to require that the material submitted for the conference be licensed in a specific manner; if you plan on presenting, some DFSG free license of the material you present should be expected so portions of the work can be utilized in main or otherwise distributed by Debian if desired. [If this poses a problem,[1] you always have the option of not presenting, or presenting your work in an informal session.]

This is primarily pragmatic, since there's no clear consensus on what the prefered form for modification for a video is, or even what it means to copyleft a video. [If you have a clear idea of what it means, you could communicate it to the organizers...] Don Armstrong 1: I'd be rather surprised if it did; but then again, I've been suprised before. -- Any excuse will serve a tyrant. -- Aesop http://www.donarmstrong.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
