debian-project instead.

According to clause 1 of the Debian Social Contract[1], everything
("100%") in the Debian GNU/Linux distribution is and must remain Free
Software, and we are compelled to use the Debian Free Software
Guidelines to evaluate whether the things in the Debian GNU/Linux
distribution are Free Software or not.

That will never happen. There will always be people willing to
compromise the freedoms of their fellow developers and our users so that
they can enjoy having a particular set of bits in our distribution.
