This isn't avoiding it at all; the DFSG was not renamed to the "Debian Free Stuff Guidelines". It merely makes it clear that documentation is included in "software", at least as far as the SC is concerned. You can change your vocabulary if you want, but I certainly don't like the idea of giving way to the people trying to change the language to suit their claims that freedom isn't important for documentation. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
