ah, ok.  i was hoping for a signed message to be sure, as i wrote in
#77, but i guess i'll take this as a confirmation anyway.

do you mean http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Copyright-FAQ.pdf ?  or
http://trustee.ietf.org/docs/IETF-Trust-License-Policy.pdf ?

Do you think that actually including the pdf in the diff.gz is required,
or i can just refer to it and cite it in debian/copyright?

if you think it needs to be included, given the hassle of including
non-text data in a diff.gz, would it be acceptable to translate it into
plain text before including it?

right, i understood that.  i think there was an SMTP delay, as i
received my copies of those messages out of order myself.

Thanks,
