Moritz, it was not my intention to waste anyone's time. I'm actually surprised to hear that releasing software in a DFSG-free manner is called "a waste of time". By reading a recent thread in the list archives, I see that you complained of not being listened by other people, when you pointed out security issues. You stated that you raised security concerns on debian-devel regarding some packages (like mantis) that were going to be included in Debian; despite your concerns, those packages were uploaded anyway; people didn't seem to care about security. I am in a situation very similar to yours, but with respect to freeness issues, rather than security. I pointed out a freeness issue and the answer was "stop wasting our time". IMHO, both security and freeness are very important aspects for Debian and should *not* be overlooked or neglected. I hope I have clarified. -- But it is also tradition that times *must* and always do change, my friend. -- from _Coming to America_ .....................................................
