Dear Wouter, Gergely and Stefano,
one of the conditions for a work to be considered free is to allow others to
use it without making contribution back to the original authors (even if we
whish everybody would do when they can). In the non-free section of our

I'm redirecting this thread to d-project... You and I tend to think
about money very much DebConf-wise (specially in the March-July period
;-) ), but I think this is going away from the current d-vote

with a cluebat. I'm very interested in my mistakes being pointed
Recent threads have made me concerned about how well informed some of
our current DPL nominees are about what is going on within Debian.
My question to the candidates is similar to what I asked in 2010[1]:
