Certainly there are trivial license issues, but not all of them are. See bugs 436452 and 441734 for trivial examples, and bugs 440938 and 444412 for non-trivial ones. I think that it's better if bugs are filed for the second category, so that the change will be traceable. Also the maintainer should at least be informed in case the LICENSE change would remove the package from the @FREE license group. > Even if the fix is wrong the ebuild remains intact. > If someone feels uncomfortable about this proposal we could limit > this permission to the license herd. > Less bugs, quicker fixes. For the remaining trivial cases I'm fine with it either way. And there's no reason to limit the permission to the licenses team. Ulrich
