[$] A report from Debian's new DFSG team

✇LWN
Par : jzb

The DFSG, Licensing & New Packages Team (usually shortened to "DFSG team") was created in October 2025 as part of the ftpmaster team split. Its job is to review packages in the new queue for compliance with the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG), among other things, before the packages are allowed to enter the Debian archive. The change was long in coming, and some questions remained after the split whether it was the right move. Andrew McMillan provided an overview of the team's activities and its current status during DebConf26. While it may be too early to say with certainty, his report suggests that the new division of duties is working out well.
