Don't know what Red Hat family does, but at least Archlinux and Gentoo treat the license checking problem in a very permissive way. However, Debian is sometimes an important reference to these friend distros when they encountered some problems about license. > To be clear, it may be that we'll ask this question and decide that yes, > detailed license review is something we consider important and we want to > keep doing it the way that we have been doing it, and we need to figure > out how to make that work scale. Making that process scalable seemed like a workflow change, which often takes centuries to enforce in this community. Even if that process can be scaled to a larger group of workers, without proper tool every worker node will still work in low efficiency (and still easily get mentally bored). Assuming "license reviewing is inevitable to Debian", someone must manually check the debian/copyright file. In Chinese there is an old saying "工欲善其事，必先利其器", which means "one who wants to get the work done has to sharpen their tools first" (note, not a standard translation). So, trying to design a human-oriented tool for more efficient license review should be worth consideration, at least. That's what my thread on -devel is trying to do.
