Dear Bernd,
my current opinion is reflected by <20100207153515.ga20...@kunpuu.plessy.org>,
in which I clarified my proposal according to the first round of comments.
In summary:
1) For the reproduction of copyright notices, let's do what law and licenses
require from us, and not more.
2) I think that the Debian operating system is defined by the interaction of
its binary version and the source files necessary to use, study, modifiy and
redistribute it. Non-DFSG-free files that happen to be codistributed with
the
source of the Debian operating system but have no function at all are not
part
of the system, and I would like maintainers to be allowed to keep these
files
in the original upstream material if it simplifies their work.
Lastly, I am not sure if I will ask sponsors for this GR, as I wrote:
‘A GR that is accepted by a large majority is not necessarly a waste of time,
because it dissipates misunderstantings that can arise with tacite agreements.
But yes, there are alternatives, like electing a DPL that supports this change
in his platform.’
So I am definitely interested to read the opinion of the other candidates :)
Cheers,
