Ah, thank you.  Do you have a reference to a gobby document or something
like that?

 We're setting up a Security Checklist wiki page now, and may need a  
 similar Legal Checklist, so it's completely transparent what we're  
 accepting and rejecting. (We might be able to refer to the  
 PackagingGuide's Copyright content instead, will re-review with an eye  
 to how straightforward it is to apply it to our process.)

Normally I'm a fan of incorporating things by reference, but I think it
would be a little confusing in this case - you'd have to say this
document, except for X, Y, and Z.

Hey Colin and Allison,

Was the /opt push back approved?

 The gobby doc is ubuntutheproject-community-n-app-review-board-review.

 What we'll probably end up with is a short summary checklist (similar to
 your original email), with a link to the PackagingGuide for more details.
