You should probably not assume that. Rather, you should probably assume that most people are uninterested in having this argument for the 14th time. I continue to hold to my position that distributing sourceless files in source packages, provided they are under a free license and not used as part of the process of building binary package, is a nuisance rather than a meaningful DFSG violation and not worth spending project time and resources on. That said, I do understand why people want simple rules with no exceptions, even if those rules lead to moderately nonsensical corner cases. I very much doubt that further discussion of this is going to change anyone's mind, and I suspect we will simply continue to disagree on the requirements until such a time as someone proposes a GR to clarify this (if that ever happens). I don't care enough about the issue to do that myself. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
