I believe the assumption is that this proposal will provide a precedent and a pretext for such a change. Eventually I suspect we're going to have YAV on that idea (reasoning: either (a) Wichert will do that and a number of people will request a vote by general resolution to overturn it, or (b) Wichert won't do that and a number of people will request a vote by general resolution to have the project do it). Of course, if option 3 wins this vote, chances are we won't have to bother with voting on a further shift in attitude towards non-free. Personally, I'd like to see YAV on amending the project constitution to require a 3:1 vote in favor of any substantive change to the social contract and any substantive change to the DFSG, and implementing some procedure for resolving whether a proposal actually contradicts the social contract or DFSG (and therefore would be subject to the 3:1 barrier). But I'm a picky constitutionalist. :-) Actually, what I'd really like to see is a potato release sometime this millenium instead of wasting time and energy proving our free software manhood.
