I am looking at the non-free copyrights and hopefully I will weed-out any Debian distribution only ones soon. I'll put the results up on people.d.o webpage so other distributions based on Debian, like Ubuntu, can use that if they want to make sure they do not distribute something they don't have permission to distribute... - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

We are not allowed to use certain Debian resources such as buildd.d.o for buildd logs, access to the incoming queue for buildds or wanna-build and several other things. So if Debian itself does not think amd64 is part of it why should the law? Luckily other parts of Debian are not that subborn and support us none the less, like package.debian.org or soon cdimage.d.o to name two. > Anyway, I think if package can be distributed by Debian, it can > implicitly be distributed by any of the Debian ports, released or not. > > - Adam Legaly we are not Debian. Only once amd64 is added on ftp-master you can use that argument imho. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Honestly, I would consider the AMD64 port part of the Debian project since it is a *port* and you can find it at http://www.debian.org/ports/amd64/ . The only differences between non-free and AMD64 non-free is that AMD64 is not part of the Debian mirror network (ie. not officially part of Sid/Sarge). Anyway, I think if package can be distributed by Debian, it can implicitly be distributed by any of the Debian ports, released or not. - Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
