Package: project
Version: N/A; reported 2002-08-27
Severity: serious
Justification: violates Social Contract 1, 4, and 5 (maybe others)
The subject says it all. qmail is installed on murphy.debian.org. qmail
is non-free. Debian should not be using non-free software on its own
systems. I will quote from the Social Contract to show why this is so.
"Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software" is very clear, I think. "[W]e
will never make the system depend on an item of non-free software." Your
systems are depending on items of non-free software. The default
mail-transport-agent for installation is exim, and that is what most
other machines run, but not murphy. "Thus, although non-free
software isn't a part of Debian, we support its use, and we
provide infrastructure (such as our bug-tracking system and mailing
lists) for non-free software packages." I think the "support" you meant
here was "provide quality assurance for" not "endorse". I think running
qmail is the latter. Also, note that "non-free software isn't a part of
Debian". So it should not be on your machines. "We will be guided by the
needs of our users and the free-software community. We will place
their interests first in our priorities." I'm sorry, but it does not seem
like you have the interests of the free-software community first by
running qmail.
I have included two telnet sessions: one is with murphy, and one is with
a friend's machine, which is also a Debian machine running qmail. The
dead giveaway is that even with an EHLO, qmail is silent about the
software which is running.
