Dear Sandro, maybe I am misunderstanding something here. You, as the numpy Debian package maintainer, are certainly not a bystander. The health of the package is indeed your business. To be honest, I assumed that you were more than interested in solving possible DFSG-freeness issues in the package. What I reported seems to be either a less-than-clear debian/copyright file (that should be improved, in order to meet Policy 4.5) or some files which lack an explicit DFSG-free license (needing a fix, in order to meet Policy 2.2.1). At worst, some of those files could be All Rights Reserved and thus undistributable. If this turned out to be confirmed, the Debian Project would be distributing files without proper legal permission to do so. I would not describe this scenario as just a matter between me and NumPy upstream developers... -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/ There's not a second to spare!
