These bugs aren't gonna get fixed in time - tagging ignore

Excellent. Now Mr Crockford can say that his license is good enough for
Debian.

Excellent. Now Mr Crockford can say that his license is good enough for Debian.

I don't think our dear friend Mr. Crockford could say that, given it's getting rejected by ftp-masters. I missed it when I pushed node-jslint, it got rejected by the ftp-masters and it's clearly non-DFSG.

I think it's just a case where we have some legally unenforceable nonsense in a package for a release (perhaps SRU-able once it's fixed)

The bugs are tagged 'ignore' for one of our releases, but they are
clearly regarded as bugs by ftp-masters and the release team. And by
many of us around.

Regardless of the accuracy of this statement (which other people have
already discussed), I don't think this matters much one way or the other.
By all accounts, he's uninterested in changing the license anyway and is
unlikely to be persuaded to do so by anything we do or choose not to do.
Attempting to manipulate his behavior (or even to score public relations
points) by manipulating the content of the release seems rather indirect
and unlikely to be helpful.

I think we should do what's best for our users and the release and not
worry too much about what non-existent messages he might derive from those
actions.
