I think this is the more interesting link: https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/01/msg00010.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/01/msg00010.ht

  That is linked from the page, and the mail includes more than just the test.

    Yup. That's how I found it. And without the mail context, it didn't make much sense to me.

      The context is irrelevant, the test itself is the thing that matters.
      • heyoni 3y ago
        The context is everything...but actually, that just depends on who you are and is therefore subjective. For me, it isn't immediately obvious why such a test would even be necessary, so I find the source of it to be much more informative than the test itself...almost like transferring an experience rather than a cold hard fact...the latter of which I find incredibly unsatisfying.

          Good point, if you aren't regularly thinking about what is and isn't an open source license, the desert island test must feel a bit weird to think about.
