I believe that having a (largely) strongly copyleft OS is part of a
defence against commercial/government subjugations.

Replacing strongly copyleft software with permissively licensed software
leads towards a different path, and with OpenBSD/FreeBSD/NetBSD around I
don't believe Debian should compete with that.  I fear there could even
be a majority among voting DD's who believe the opposite today, though.
That's part of why we are seeing these efforts to replace GnuPG with
Seqoia, CoreUtils with UUtils, wget with (w)curl, and so on for
generally anything GNU-licensed with anything BSD/Expat-licensed.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, so this is only my personal view,
not that of any large project, but for me, the effort to replace GnuPG
with Sequoia in my workflows (personal and workplace) was motivated only
by three things: the historical baggage GnuPG has accumulated
WRT command-line syntax, the OpenPGP/LibrePGP schism, and the hoops one
has to go through to use it in an unattended setting. Yes, it is possible.
Yes, I have done it. Yes, it is much, much easier with SOP/sqop.
