Not one of mine. I'm not sure what effect it has on that, but I
suspect a net zero. Maybe someone else will discuss that with you.
As you know, I think the best likely package benefit comes for those
with
unproblematic licences not hosted by Debian, but I see that you are
careful
to exclude that from your question.
Err, i have difficulties parsing you here, could you clarify that for
me ?
I think that it may encourage improved support for non-Debian-hosted
packages in general, including project-produced packages and backport
projects.
