Joey, please hear me out. Debian needs to fix this, and your response to Karsten isn't sufficient or appropriate.
First, Karsten has a reasonable moral claim on Debian for an author acknowledgement: Compare his Debian Chroot Install notes, which _were_ the first generally available clear explanation of that matter on the Web, and you will see for yourself: A lot of the wording is taken _absolutely verbatim_ from Karsten's page -- and, as Karsten points out, Chris Tillman is on record as acknowledging the debt. Second, if you insist on correcting the problem the other way (by making the manual no longer be a derivative work of Karsten's pioneering page), then it is NOT appropriate to make corrective action conditional on Karsten "producing a list of specific phrases in the manual" for you to rewrite. That's not his job. He's pointed out that Debian is wrongfully using his creation in violation of its licence: It's Debian's job to do everything else necessary to fix the problem. I urge you to take the other type of corrective action: Do the right thing, and credit Karsten as author of a document on which the manual is based, as he requested. If for whatever reason you can't see the logic of that, however, you _cannot_ throw back onto Karsten the task of listing for you all the bits of wording that were borrowed. It's not right, and very obviously not his problem. I'm disappointed -- as an author and as a Debian user. This is no way to treat a generous volunteer. -- Cheers, My pid is Inigo Montoya.
