Usage of the PPA system on LP requires that you agree to the usage terms (not unlike machine usage policies for Debian). We let non-MOTU upload to their own PPAs (has their name in the URL), and if nonfree (or malicious) packages are uploaded, they can have PPA rights removed. There's been one issue I can recall, and it was only a very very slight DFSG technicality. > > Cheers, > Julien > > -- > .''`.
