Sorry for the not-so-nice way of me asking if you are alive there, and
thanks very much for the reply.

Actually, when I remember correctly the configuration of linux-fai
(which is not in my responsibility), _this_ mail really got stored
in /dev/null at uni-koeln.de somewhere, without anybody being noticed,
and I will forward it therefore to the linux-fai list.

So in case somebody from debian-legal had answered before, only to the
list, we really might not have gotten it ( I just see this happened once
in the archive, I will also forward the mail from Francesco Poli -
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/08/msg00075.html to the
list). 

I am very sorry for realizing only now how real my objection with
the /dev/null thing was - only on the wrong side - when seeing that I
get this mail only one time, while I should get it twice (list +
personal), and that something like that (mails to /dev/null) happened a
while ago when I posted to linux-fai from the wrong address.
