The issue at hand is the inclusion of additional license texts in the base-files package.In doing so, I would like to continue Russ Albery’s proposal [0]. Licenses will be included in common-licenses if they meet all of the following criteria: * The license is DFSG-free. * Exactly the same license wording is used by all works covered by it. * The license applies to at least 100 source packages in Debian. * The license text is longer than 25 lines.
Maybe it'd make sense to restrict this to licenses which also included in Essential packages, or ones with an high enough priority (like Important), so that extra disk usage for base-files. is less of a concern.
Bye!
