Actually, I think you made an accurate judgement. But I find it incomplete; I'd like to add that I don't see anything wrong with taking Debian + non-free bits and using the project's resources (backed by SC #5) to release an installer that uses that. The only caveat is that it should be made clear the result is not "Debian" (because of SC #1). I think that'd be a really good solution. Debian users could continue using a 100% free system, and those who don't mind the blobs could use that alternative. It's actually a very similar approach to what Ubuntu did with Gobuntu, but in reverse. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
