I agree that not doing it now is wise. Aside from the trustees and council |
| 22 |
having approved it, I would be concerned that some breaking change in legalase |
| 23 |
is done. e.g. GPLv2 vs GPLv3. |

I am not trying to debate the validity of said licenses, but ensure that we do |
| 26 |
not "blindly" accept changes we, as a distro, agree with. |
