Fine, go debate it somewhere. This is off-topic for debian-legal and unwelcome because we have other work to do. You failed to attribute the previous author. I hope they take a liberal view of your copyright infringement, or that you acted within your state's "fair use" laws. I still think it's a bit rude of you. gentoo had no way to choose between licences beyond reading ebuilds, last I saw. A generally cavalier attitude to copyright means I no longer have any gentoo systems here. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ for creative copyleft computing
