Or maybe you are hard-core and nothing's changed? - GFDL docs still in non-free? Check. - firmware still considered as program, not data? Check. - Definition of 'software' stretched to mean 'any set of bits' rather than 'program'? Check. - 'Editorial changes' still in place in social contract? Check. > Though you're free to do what you want, I think you would be a valuable > port maintainer... Probably. I was valuable before. I have no enthusiasm for working with a bunch of people whose attitudes are so disjoint from mine. I derive much more pleasure from working on non-Debian projects (many of which are upstream for Debian, so in a way I still contribute, but not in a way which brings me into contact with the idiots who control Debian). -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
