That idea is nice, but we are not upstream. We cannot force our view of this matter onto upstream. A similar problem arises when upstream does not understand that an OpenSSL exception is needed for the GPL. As much as I'd agree that this is an upstream problem, we don't get anywhere by stating that. Arguably, this is not an upstream problem, but a problem with our view of the DFSG. Even if this were to be fixed in Doxygen tomorrow, you'd still have this source-less embedded copy in gtkmm3.0 and many other packages for quite some time. This is not going to go away quickly in any case. > Removing the documentation downstream is no option, sorry and as for > re-adding the missing "source": it's impossible to determine which > jquery upstream version was used for that. I certainly agree with the latter from experience in trying to find the corresponding source for Doxygen's own embeddings. I'm not sure about why removing the documentation would not be an option. There is "Files-Excluded" in uscan. After all the DFSG is kinda self-inflicted and nothing that needs to concern upstreams. The source that includes Doxygen-generated documentation is distributable as the compiled jquery.js is licensed under a MIT license. However the DFSG requires that we also ship the source (or remove it). I agree that this is pain. I did look for solutions and evaluated them with upstream. As a consequence the Doxygen now compiles this jquery.js from source during build. But I cannot offer anything better. Sorry. Maybe you can? I'm all for making this less painful. As this keeps coming up, maybe we should GR a relaxation of the DFSG for unused embedded copies as long as they are distributable? Helmut
