Dear Listmasters and debian-legal, Whatever else, the complaint about abuse by over-repetition seems valid, but I'm not sure what terms of reference listmasters use to review complaints. http://bugs.debian.org/536575 is still open. However, the above descriptions of debian-project and debian-legal are rather misleading. Positions on licences have been developed on debian-legal many times, while debian-project mainly was used when there were wider whole-project concerns. At the moment, the official descriptions of the two lists are: debian-legal - Copyright, licensing and patent issues; Discussions about legality issues such as copyrights, patents etc. debian-project - Discussions about non-technical issues in the project; Discussion about non-technical topics related to the Debian Project. I suggest adding "related to the Debian Project. Please summarise non-Debian personal opinions on your website rather than this list." to the description of debian-legal but I feel it would be unfair to punish someone today for exceeding a restriction not yet written down, so let's revisit it a month or so after that sort of change. I will submit the list topic change as a wishlist bug Real Soon Now unless I'm told not to.
