Comments on that are welcome.
The problem with allowing any DFSG free license is that it may mean that the license for DEPx may be incompatible with DEPy. If a DEPz wants to combine, or just re-use portions of, DEPx and DEPy, the license of DEPz will be quite complex. I believe it would lead to less problems to require that all DEPs are licensed under a liberal and widely compatible license, such as the Expat, X11 or the modified BSD license. /Simon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
