Thanks. I have contacted debian-legal. And no, acting after those web APIs break is a bad idea. It is the same as depending on a non-free library. In the future more packages will start depend on non-free web API, and a single change by non-free provider will wipe out a major chunk of Debian. It will be very costly then. Look what happened with xBSD family -- they were locked out of the market for 3 years due to legal battle, and had to rewrite major chunk of OS. So we must act before bad things happen. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
