I do not see where the DFSG (or the Social Contract, for that matter) confines itself to copyright issues. If copyright were the only legal regime that could deprive us and our users of Free Software, we wouldn't be worried about software patents. Er, well, maybe *you personally* aren't worried about software patents, but many of our developers in Europe were, and quite recently. -- G. Branden Robinson | No math genius, eh?
