I dare to guess that the gNewSense developers are doing both #2 (long-term approach) and #3
(short-term "we have to make a free software release *now*" approach) in parallel as that
would make the most ... sense :) #1 is not the job of a distro IM(H)O (though individual
developers that happen to also work on the distro are free to do #1 outside of the distro
realm of course).

I dared to guess because just recently I stumbled upon code that had no license attached
anywhere (cairo-demo (in cvs, not git), xcb-something) and contacted upstream immediately (not
yet for xcb, but I will when I get to it again) because it's just natural for me to do that.
