I'm sorry if this grates, but I've heard these proposals over and over in the last few months, and it's getting old. I think Debian should either give itself over completely to RMS's GNU Project, or acknowledge that there is some value in software that's not completely free in the "Debian" sense. It seems I recall recently a movement to remove the RFCs from Debian, because they were not "free" in the Debian sense. How absurd must we get before people come to their senses? You're going to end up driving people away from Debian proper and into other distros. I love the Debian distro, but I swear sometimes Debianistas act like MacIntosh people, with this attitude that they're superior to everyone else, and that only they have the One True Vision (tm).
Not that this will make any difference whatsoever. I just get tired of hearing this almost religious fervor about Debian's definition of "free" software. Sometimes I think I'm listening to RMS. Okay, flame away, folks. Paul
