You'd think that if everyone were supposed to know and agree to this that there's be some kind of explicit promise which people were required to make to that effect. Instead, the only thing you can point at is a SUBTITLE and -- if you want to get fancy -- the absence of some specific phrases from a rather brief document. In other words, you're taking an ambiguity and blowing it out of proportion. In my opinion, what that document is promising is a lack of dependencies on non-free, not a requirement that people talk a certain way. -- Raul
