A simple link from http://www.debian.org/intro/free would keep me happy (given that ../free is linked from the Debian home page). I don't need to read the discussions about it in the archives, it's enough for me just to know the page has already been thought about.

So I have to use my official work email even when I'm dealing with my own personal business after hours. *sigh* Thanks for the link to your licences page.
