--- Comment #14 from Rene Engelhard <rene@debian.org> ---
What's the problem with this licence? We (freeColour) discussed the licensing > options with an
IP lawyer
that is probably the problem.
and came to the conclusion that, to guarantee the > same outcome on all
platforms and the reliability of the physical colour reference in connection
with any programme, the ND option is the best.
Your opinion. But it violates the open source Defnition. Remember you are
contributing to a open source project (or well, Heiko did).

So it's not something we should ship.
I've had this discussion in other contexts already, and the major concern was > that using any of
the colours in a document creates a derivative. This is
*not* true. Using a colour is what is says: use, which is not limited by the
licence.
I didn't claim so. Still you can't modify it.
The ND option only serves to guarantee the correctness of the colour values
and the related colour codes. You can compare it to an open standard. The ODF > spec would be
useless if anyone could modify the text
But a "random" color palette is not a standard. And saying that, by Debians
standards (DFSG, which the OSD is actually based on) standard texts or RFCs are
not suitable for Debian main either.
Regards,
Rene
