IMO, the fact that a program which works perfectly with completely free components is also *able* to process components (fonts) which depend on non-free external information does not mean it cannot go into main. If you are able to use gcc to link your source with a non-free library, that doesn't mean gcc needs to go to contrib. If there would be a compiler, itself free, which *only* works with a non-free library, then it would have to go to contrib probably Regards, Frank -- Frank Küster Debian Developer (teTeX/TeXLive) _______________________________________________ Cjk maillist - [email protected] https://lists.ffii.org/mailman/listinfo/cjk
