The title of option 2 contains a typo: s/propietary/proprietary/.
I hereby second the options 2 and 3 of Robert's proposal as quoted below.
--------------------
Option 2 (allow Lenny to release with propietary firmware)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. We affirm that our Priorities are our users and the free software
community (Social Contract #4);
2. We acknowledge that there is a lot of progress in the kernel firmware
issue; however, it is not yet finally sorted out;
3. We assure the community that there will be no regressions in the progress
made for freedom in the kernel distributed by Debian relative to the Etch
release in Lenny
4. We give priority to the timely release of Lenny over sorting every bit
out; for this reason, we will treat removal of sourceless firmware as a
best-effort process, and deliver firmware in udebs as long as it is
necessary for installation (like all udebs), and firmware included in
the kernel itself as part of Debian Lenny, as long as we are legally
allowed to do so, and the firmware is distributed upstream under a
license that complies with the DFSG.
Option 3 (allow Lenny to release with any DFSG violations)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. We affirm that our Priorities are our users and the free software
community (Social Contract #4);
2. We acknowledge that there is a lot of progress on DFSG compliance
issues; however, they are not yet finally sorted out;
3. We assure the community that there will be no regressions in the progress
made for freedom in the packages distributed by Debian relative to the
Etch release in Lenny
4. We give priority to the timely release of Lenny over sorting every bit
out; for this reason, we will treat fixing of DFSG violations as a
best-effort process.
