Without these non-modifiable license texts there would be basically no Debian at all as the license texts are what makes the rest of a package containing them DFSG-free.

This isn't the case for icons, which are could be removed or disabled without anywhere near as much effect. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
