An iteration is one complete cycle of a process.[0] A "reiteration" is
repeating the same thing again. So it is saying, "I told you, and now
I'm telling you again."

more like an evolution, perhaps like the climbing of a ladder, one rung
at a time. It's opposite might be, depending on context, like jumping
off of the roof, all in one go, a revolution. Iteration might have a
slightly different meaning in a different context. A for() loop is
generally regarded as an iterative thing. An example of an entirely
different process would be a recursive function. CS 101 lesson for the

Sorry for the repeat message, I lost my internet connection just as it
was sending. Also, in the footnote, that should read "The process *may*
make some progress...."

The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's
being part of a Debian system.

I read it to mean if you write a program, the program license must all
it to also run on another OS. Say Fedora. So you can't say this can
only be used for Debian.

I'd say that, the last point is just another way of saying "License must
not be specific to Debian." The "last point" could be the item before
that one, or, the actual last point. (confusing?)

A point is just an item in a list of items, i.e.

1.
2.
3. License must not be specific to Debian, ...
4.
5.

So, from the above: point 3 states: "License must not be specific to
Debian", but "reiteration of the last point" could mean point 2, or it
could mean point 5. Less confusing would be either "previous point" or
"final point" IMHO.
