So be it. Please discuss it with me then. Or anyone else on
debian-legal, actually. Ignore him at will. Please don't ignore his
questions, though. Well, at least, not the ones I'd like an answer
for.
Thanks,

Debian-the-project also produces stuff not in Debian-the-OS, namely
contrib and non-free packages).

Don't get me wrong: I have a tremendous respect for the FSF and the
GNU project and what they do, but they shouldn't give Debian lessons
on consistency of policies. Submit bugs where our policies are not
being followed, yes. Tell us they are inconsistent, no. Not befo

also believe it's exactly what the words say. Of course, you're
entitled to not agree on that, but please don't assert that the words
say this or that unless you get wide consensus (which currently seems
to exist, only not the wya you'd like it to be).

Again: your point is? I don't see how the example of a public
domain book brings useful and relevant information to the debate of
whether GFDL documents are free enough to be in Debian.

I have no real clue about EO yet, but that sounds reasonable.
