The contents of legal documents is authoritative in this situation. Not tweets by spokespeople.
- oasisbob 8y agoIntel's spokesman isn't saying "ignore the license, distribution is fine, I promise" - he's pointing out the clause in the license which is intended to allow redistribution.
- manicdee 8y agoA single clause doesn't make a legal agreement. It only allows redistribution given other conditions placed on it directly and indirectly by the rest of the license and other documents that relate. It's entirely possible that redistribution is allowed in very limited circumstances that do not include Debian's distribution model. The Intel spokesman's lack of understanding of Debian's context doesn't mean Debian's mistaken.
