Is DuckDuckGo aware of the fact that Debian is upstream of a number of derivative distributions that just import our packages, and if we modify our packages to do this, other distributions will be counted as "Debian" for their revenue-sharing purposes even if they aren't exactly? For example, Ubuntu would inherit this behavior for the web browsers they just import from Debian, unless they went out of their way to change it. Related, do they realize that we cannot and will not enforce any of the terms of their contract with us on any derivative distribution that happens to import Debian web browser packages? -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
