I don't think I have. Not here, not before. Please assume good faith on
mailing lists, because it's hard to grasp the feeling on the other end.
If you want to start an argue and feel like I've been bad with you,
please do it privately, and I hope we'll get on together better. How
about having a beer in Vancouver? :)
given the reliability of
system packages, it’s increasingly deployed from source.
WTF?!? In what way are Python packages that I maintain for OpenStack not
reliable? Could you care to explain?
Are you a lawyer? Do you have a special connection with people from
bootstrap and angular, and they told you so?
Again with trying to put words in my mouth Thomas.
I'm just pointing to the fact that you don't know, just like I don't
either or anyone else, what the consequences can be to violate a
license. This is unless you're a lawyer, or if you know upstream for
Angular. I fail to see where I do put words into your mouth...
I suppose if you used pip, you’d understand why the .post1 suffix is
necessary
I did use pip, but I still don't understand how adding ".post1" provides
more information. Probably I wont be the only one. Could you enlighten me?
but you don’t care about anything other than how this affects
your packages, do you?
I do care that everything done within the OpenStack project is done
respecting free software licenses. This is more than just packaging in
Debian, this is also related to ethic.
I'm pointing out the fact that there's a legal issue with the licensing
and the distribution of a package. The plan described by Robert Collins
is very accurate, and is just exactly what I thought should be done.
Let's be constructive, have the issue fixed like Robert described, and
avoid time loss (with nit-pickings), ok?

IANAL, but I don't think minified runtime use of a MIT-licensed
Javascript has the same legal issues as shipping the source code. So
far, I haven't seen a case where having a javascript running within your
browser was considered as redistribution of the source code.

Exactly my thoughts.

I'm convince it is. And I'm convince we *must* ship "the above copyright
notice and this permission notice" in our source packages, as the
license says. If you don't trust me, please do trust the Debian FTP
masters who are doing this every day.
