I certainly have no desire to waste time arguing about arbitrary termination clauses and other things that seem obviously and extremely non-free, but "fixing" annoying mailing list threads by changing founding documents is a bad idea. I don't think "tightening up" is a good thing; that implies, to me, that the project will be less able to deal later with new non-free restrictions; there are more and more of those on a daily basis, and modifying the DFSG on a daily basis is bad. However, your notion of "tightening" may not be the same as mine. Let's stop being vague: if you have a suggested change to the DFSG, let's hear it, so we can talk about it specifically. -- Glenn Maynard
