Package: linux-2.6 Severity: normal
In case you're not aware, the linux-libre project grew out of gNewSense's efforts to publish 100% Free Software extracts from the kernel distributed by kernel.org, later on picked up by BLAG and, more recently, by FSF Latin America. You might want to use it, instead of kernel.org's kernel, to get closer to compliance with your policy of shipping only Free Software in main. Whether you move the non-Free kernel you currently ship to non-free, or simply remove it, is something you should discuss and decide on your own, but I thought I'd remind you of both possibilities. linux-libre is currently available at http://www.fsfla.org/~lxoliva/fsfla/linux-libre/ There's a README in there. We're considering creating a freed-ebian repository with linux-libre-based kernels for Debian GNU/Linux in there, but we hope that, knowing how seriously you take your social contract and the freedom of your users, I thought you might want to preempt that move. In case you'd like to make such a move using an older version of Linux than those we've already deblobbed, I'd be happy to assist. Just let us know at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps, and that Debian one more time sets an example of promoting the Free Software philosophy and caring about users' freedom.
