And though the ANSI standard does differ from CLTL2, I personally find CLTL2 a useful guide for understanding some aspects of the Common Lisp language. My understanding of the viewpoints in the Common Lisp community is, of course, that the HyperSpec is the more definitive reference. But I also believe that many people consider CLTL2 to be an important and helpful book. Do you think this my belief reflects reality?

Thanks for your thoughts. I don't tend to view a Debian package as derivative work of the original source since the distributed source code is unmodified. Further, the distributed binary is exactly the same binary as would be produced on a compilation from the original source in a non-Debian sytem. I agree that Debian packages adds information around the source and binary as well as applies compressions. This may, I agree with you, cause it to be considered a derivation. As I put in the ITP, iozone3 should be in non-free. I agree with you it is good to be safe. Thus, I will write to the authors and request written permission to distribute in the non-free section of Debian. BTW, I have the Debian package created and ready to upload. I like this ITP aspect of Debian where issues like this can be discussed before an potentially damaging upload occurs. -- GPG signed and encrypted | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** messages accepted. | : :' : The universal | `. `' Operating System http://kevin.rosenberg.net | `-http://www.debian.org/ pgpW4VZjsmgXV.pgp Description: PGP signature
