Hold your horses fellas. Nothing of this sort has happened yet. I've been following this discussion at both ends of the "arena" long enough, and from what I understand nothing that gets imported (not to confuse with uploaded manually) by Ubuntu gets the new BSD licensing scheme. In other words, a GNOME package that gets imported will maintain its original license. It is only with translations done via Rosetta OR manual uploads that the BSD license kicks in (assuming you are a member of the Ubuntu translation team AND have chosen the BSD license). Because this new process is new, I believe that it is safe to say that every GNOME package in the Ubuntu repositories still have their original license. -- Og B.
