Someone on debian-devel thought of this, but went one further: change the gzip header magic so that only a "GPL-enabled" gzip can decompress it. I wonder how the zlib maintainers (zlib is not GPL) would feel about having to add support for *that*. (: > PS: That's crazy. Including it by reference should be enough.

(: I guess he is worried about some .deb file falling into the wrong hands and being used on a system where nobody has heard of the GPL and there is no copy available ... then the target user won't know his or her rights and responsibilities. Yeah, I think it's pretty far-fetched too.
