Hi.
WTF?! I really wonder how this (#579796), especially with such a license can even be considered for going into Debian (especially seeing it in the NEW queue yes I know, that this doesn't mean it has already been acceptet). 1) I'm generally quite sceptical about putting religious stuff into Debian (regardless of which religion we're talking about). This simply opens the gates for so many problems, politically, morally, etc. Perhaps a separate "project" would be a better place. 2) How can the ftp-masters actually check whether this complies with the DFSG. As far as I can see from the English translation, it is not legally binding, and only the Arabic version is. I guess none of our ftp-masters can read this, but even if, end-users can not, so I guess people have not change in reading the license they agree to. I guess it's common sense that licenses should have a legally binding version in English, which is kind of the international language. 3) The license contains many places which can be considered discriminatory, racist or fundamentalist. Apart from that... religious stuff shouldn't go into a license. 4) The license is extremely anti-American, and I guess also anti-European/anti-Western. This may sound anti-Islamic, but it is not. In my opinion, we should just keep Debian clean of any religious stuff, or software related to similar problematic areas, especially if they have such a questionable "license". What do others think?
