This have already been accepted (I saw a 0.6.3 update being accepted into the
archive a couple of days ago).
How were the licensing and namespace concerns resolved? After two
years of waiting, it would be nice to know the decision criteria for
such important management issues.
I think he was talking about SPL [1], not zfs-linux here.
As far as I know nothing has been resolved with respect to zfs-linux, yet.

This problem can be circumvented easily, by not listing every file with
different copyright as separate stanza, but instead aggregation all
copyright holders for files licensed under CDDL-1.0 into the first, general
stanza (which also would make debian/copyright a lot easier to
review/maintain, e.g. avoids duplicated stanzas etc.).
When I did this code audit, in part to satisfy Debian import
requirements, the debian/copyright file was intentionally broken out
like this to avoid ambiguity and ensure copyright pedigree.
This is important because the downstream Debian sources are often
disjoint or unmergeable from the upstream git repository -- as you
just noticed -- and because there was an upstream conversion from svn
to git that mangled some of the commit history.
OK, it's fine to have them separated, but in that case shouldn't the
copyright of the default stanza match what the COPYRIGHT file says, or
maybe just add Sun Microsystems, Inc. to the default stanza?
I have CCed the copyright holders of these man pages, to inform them that they have to license them under a DFSG-free license, or they won't be allowed into Debian main.
Why are you making this request? Surely this is the responsibility of
the package maintainers to do this work and maintain an upstream
rapport.
I'm just trying to help here. Of course, it would have been better if
the package maintainers had noticed this, but as it seems that a
potentially not DFSG-free file made it into the Debian archive, it's now
an issue that affects any Debian user.
As you are the author of the man page in question here, do you agree to
license the file man/man1/splat.1 under a DFSG-free license, e.g. GPL-2+?
We haven't seen Aron Xu or Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez at the upstream
issue tracker or support lists in more than a year. Conversely, Turbo
Fredriksson is active and should therefore be added to the primary
list of people with Debian FTP upload privileges.
I didn't know that. They are currently listed as the only uploaders of
SPL, but as that package is team-maintained by the Debian ZFS on Linux
maintainers, which Turbo is part of, I don't see a problem.
I haven't reviewed the debian/copyright of zfs-linux fully yet, but
attached patch fixes some issues I already noticed:
* changing Disclaimer: to Comment: as the first one is only meant for
explanations, why a packages has to be in non-free
* removing some stanzas for files not present in the repository
* removing duplicated stanzas
* converting the Source: field of 'Files: debian/*' to a comment, as
the Source: field is only allowed in the header
* adding the missing licenses for some files
* adding the choice-of-venue of the CDDL to debian/copyright
Best regards,
Andreas
