Well, it is a compulsive GR though, which would have an effect on the work done on non-free package by about 100 debian developers. I also think that the main problem you will face is to define what is the right thing, and what is the wrong thing, and i think that trying to impose this decision on the people actually doing the job is also evil. > If one thinks forcing people to do things is evil, then forcing > continuation of non-free is evil in one way. Yeah, sure sure, but please don't be hypocrit. You are trying to force people to _not_ do things, which is much more evil than the the hypothetical continuation of non-free distribution. Nobody is forcing you to work on non-free packages, nobody is forcing you to download them, in fact the default behavior is even for you to not even know about the existence of non-free software, so i seriously don't understand how you can honestily claim that we are forcing you to anything.
