Perhaps an addition to policy to clarify such matters, something to the effect of "A license should be placed in common-licenses if {x% of Debian packages use it | y bytes will be saved by its inclusion}", would be useful? [1]. If the idea's well liked I could go ahead and draft a diff. [1] In my idea, x could be 2-2.5, or y could be 15-20MiB. That's large enough to really save some space in the archive, yet small enough as to reflect current practice, as far as I see things. -- _ Brian Ryans 8B2A 54C4 E275 8CFD 8A7D 5D0B 0AD0 B014 C112 13D0 .
