Thanks for your comments! I do have one immediate question: > > 5.

It should go in the previous clause > as it has nothing to do with non-free. I don't understand why you say that "Linux Standard Base" has nothing to do with non-free. Consider, for example: http://www.linuxbase.org/modules.php?name=FAQ&myfaq=yes&id_cat=1&categories=General+Info#17 Binary-only software is one of the characteristics of non-free software. Yes, it also has applicability to binary-only distribution of free software, but that's not the same as "nothing to do with non-free". Do you agree with me? If not, could you expand on your views? Thanks, -- Raul
