Sure, comments like "Debian would obviously be anti-social and not
trustworthy" don't encourage me to try to have a conversation about this
with you; you don't decide what does or doesn't meet Debian's standards
anyway, it's Debian itself that does this.

It would be a nice bonus if we happened to convince you that the issues with
the CDDL are real issues and you reconsidered your licensing as a result;
but this bug is about whether Debian can accept CDDL-licensed works in main,
not about whether you agree with that decision.

It's obvious that *you* think it's compatible, but then, you're licensing
your software under the CDDL, so I hardly think you're an unbiased party to
this discussion.

The bug submitter, the package maintainer, and a member of the release team
have all disagreed with your assessment that the bug should be closed.
Providing "proof" that you accept is not required here; whether you agree
with our reasoning or not, you don't have standing to overrule the decisions
of the relevant parties within Debian.  If you keep closing this bug, I will
ask the BTS admins to restrict your access to BTS control functions.  Please
leave the bug status alone and let the discussion run its course.
