Some advisory is valuable for me just before I choose to include such files in my project. > If the ftpmasters have accepted this kind of permission statement > before, so many times, then I think we can draw the conclusion that > they are happy with it. I would like to accept that conclusion too, but from previous experience I know it's not always the case (ftpmasters are human too). People tend to blindly accept that everything is OK if entered Debian before, and hence mistakes are never fixed and takes a lot of work to stop the inertia, your answer is a clear example. I hope you did not feel cheated for my omision, but I would have missed your first answer which was truly useful. Next time I won't say that I've searched the source archive :P I have not found any previous discussion about those licenses so asking here seem to be the right thing to do, if that is not the case, can you please point me the correct steps, should I ask ftpmasters directly or there is another mailing list you think more appropiate?
