I know. But http://www.debian.org/intro/free use the wording `commercial software'. Part of it may be my own fault. When discussing freeing the software with them last fall, I directed them to http://www.debian.org/intro/free instead of directly to http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines :-( > If you want to prevent proprietary derived works, GPL works great. I informed them of that too. But while writing my email to them, I found it irritating that our first `what's free' web page didn't advocate that directly. Does everyone agree that http://www.debian.org/intro/free should be changed? At least, I'd change `commercial software' to `closed-source software' or `proprietary software'. If there are no objections, I can fill a bug report against www.debian.org Peter
