Debian Weekly News 2004/15Debian Weekly News 2004/15Posted Apr 14, 2004 19:44 UTC (Wed) by piman (subscriber, #8957)In reply to: Debian Weekly News 2004/15 by jwb Parent article: Debian Weekly News 2004/15 The answer is, Debian must distribute the XCF, if such a form existed. Sometimes the author of the work doesn't even save an intermediate form (for example, you don't distribute your source code with undo information in it), in which case, that's probably the preferred form for modification. If the author has an XCF that she modifies and then only gives users the PNG, then that image is proprietary, because you don't have source access. But if the author uses a PNG herself as the main form of modification, then it's the source. In most cases, Debian does distribute the source to non-code, like XCF for image files, if such things exist. If you run across a situation where Debian doesn't, please file a bug against the package.
