Too bad. I met some debian maintainers yesterday evening.
I'll discuss this topic next time.
I think "CC-BY-SA" and DFSG are compatible.
DFSG: Free Redistribution
CC: You are free to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work
DFSG: Source Code
CC: (There is no source but data in a documented format)
DFSG: Derived Works
The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license
of the original software.
CC:
- You are free to make derivative works
- Attribution. You must give the original author credit.
- Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this
work, you may distribute the resulting work only under
a license identical to this one.
DFSG: Integrity of The Author's Source Code
restricted source code must allow patch on build time
CC: (Doesn't apply)
DFSG: No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
CC: no restriction
DFSG: No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
CC: no restriction
DFSG: Distribution of License
CC: no additional restriction
DFSG: License Must Not Contaminate Other Software
CC: no restriction
DFSG: Example Licenses
CC: not listed but in my oppinion GPL and CC-BY-SA
are rather similar
