For four months, Debian has known of blatant copyright infringement
in its archives. We have done nothing. How is that going to look in
court?
This is not some argument whether a license is free or non-free, or
whether we offended a mostly friendly upstream's license in some
minor way. We have violated the copyright of people who had no
intent to let us distribute it in any way, and who have no reason
to work with us. It needs to be fixed now, no matter what the
maintainer thinks about it.
