It's important to remember that this is a contextual definition. The context is license analysis so that we can know whether or not we are upholding our pledge to the Free Software Community that Debian will "remain 100% Free Software". Yes, there is some circularity in this. Statements of first principles often have this feature. The debian-legal mailing list need not waste its time arguing with people about "what software is" in *any other* context. -- G.
