I just don't think that software Depends: on the data it manipulates the way that it Depends: on, say, libraries or other programs. It also seems terribly unhackerly. I mean, heck: if I'd like to create some Free Gameboy ROMs, I'd want to do it on a Free operating system. Lastly, I guess there's just something really violating about thinking that Debian is judging the data I have, or could have, on my hard drive. So I'm not working with Free data. So what? Mind your own beeswax, Debian. ~ESP -- Evan Prodromou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
