We have just talked about this in #473216. The same objections were raised there, Cc'ing the submitter. I can only repeat what I wrote in that bug report: ,---- | If you want to discuss specific aspects of the LPPL, I think you'd | better | | - read it carefully first | | - read the (quite lengthy) discussions on debian-legal about it | | - discuss it with people who are interested in that, e.g. on | debian-legal. | | Myself, I just take it for granted that a license which has been | drafted together by the LaTeX team and some debian-legal regulars, and | been reviewed and finally approved on that list, is DFSG-free. And I | have no interest in discussing this; we have indeed more severe | licensing problems in texlive; the woeful copyright file is just a | symptom of that. `---- And now would you please go to debian-legal and not stop me from working on important license issues in TeXLive? Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive)
