Since my mailer is questionable, and I am in process of moving, so I have to use
something like this, until I get a real connection and not the dial-up I'm currently using, so I'll just respond.

First, who are these debian-legal people that they consider themselves self-proclaimed keepers of the torch?  I think if anything is going to change I think it's what debian considers 'free' based on what I've seen on the foundation list.  I guess this is the real moving target, eh?

As for debian-legal I cannot find their messages archived so I think that must be a secret club ala our old and defunct core team and since debian has some strange initiation rights I guess this is all hush-hush secret agent sorta stuff.  I also read in an U.K. mag that debian-Europe and debian-US disagree on this and purging debian of all non-Free (self-defined obviously) software. 

And how is all of this affected by the relationship between debian and Progeny? 
Is debian the lobbying group for a business?  That brings back some really bad denotations from the 30's so let's hope not but you most certainly are _hinting_ that way.  I ask this because _Enquiring minds want to know_ and you of course brought it up so I take it you want to discuss it.  

Thanks and I'll forward your suggestion against the FDL on though you can 
do the same. And o yeah, the minor changes are up on the licenses.html page now.  I guess we hit it at the right time.
