Stefan Hinz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, of the MySQL AB Documentation Team, wrote in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[1] and <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[2] as documented in this bug with regards to the MySQL manual: | What's not mentioned here is what we *do* allow, and that's what all this | discussion is about: We want the Manual to be shipped with the software | *but not separately*. | (...) | I was imprecise. What I meant to say is "not separately" in the sense of | putting the Manual somewhere outside the vicinity of the MySQL software. | E.g. putting the Manual on a book CD that doesn't contain the MySQL | software. Including this in debian/copyright ought to be sufficient, seem by reasoning at [3]. Although it'd be nice to have this statement included in the package's copyright file itself, as far as I know it's not a release critical issue for it to not be, as long as such statement exists, especially for non-free. Release team, could you please reconsider removing the documentation of MySQL from Sarge? IMHO proper documentation for important pieces of software is an important to have.
