The boilerplate files is under DFSG-free license.

Twitter is only a example. There are several pacakges which depend on private company services. If you think it is a problem, you should also claim to remove several packages which depend on Google API. > Independent(!) from the question of main versus contrib, my original > point was (and still is) that I believe it would make a better > experience for Debian users if gitignore-boilerplates as shipped with > Debian could be made to not only do fetch-via-git-then-cache, but > additionally (and, in my opinion, preferrably) do read-from-filesystem - > and the package ship snapshots of the boilerplates offered upstream. Whether upstream author agree or not, I can ship the package with snapshot files. Because these are free. But I don't think it is needed unless there is a cleary policy-violation. > Regards, > > - Jonas > > -- > * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt > * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ > > [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private > [2 signature <application/pgp-signature; us-ascii (7bit)>] > -- 谷口 貴紀 (TANIGUCHI Takaki) tak...@asis.media-as.org http://takaki-web.media-as.org/ tak...@debian.org http://facebook.com/taniguchi.takaki http://twitter.com/takaki_t -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
