You don't care about it, or you willingly close your eyes to it, in
order to achieve the short term goal of having debian no more
distribute
the non-free section ?
Yes, obviously.
I want a proliferation of third-party free packages for debian.
Third party
non-free (like j2* packages) already exist and I doubt they would
grow as
quickly as free ones.
What about binary-only hardware drivers ?
They are drivers for hardware which have the bug of not being free
software, but I think you knew that already.
I wish you good luck to run
advanced 3D graphics on powerpc hardware for example, especially on
modern powerbooks.
At present, I have no such need for that hardware. If you do, then I
think you should help to fix that bug, instead of writing to us about
how unfair it is that some of us don't want to support a bug of
someone else's driver any more.
