Hi Jurij, ... I like your statement, and i suppose it is a shame we didn't held this meeting ways earlier, because the discussion would sure have benefited from your input and your clear wording of this issue.
The only point i would comment one, concerns 2), and i wonder if we should add something about the fact that those sourceless GPL firmwares, are most assuredly there by error and misinformation on the vendors part, as was the case for both the tg3 firmware and the qlogic ones, and that we expect the firmware copyright holder, once contacted, to quickly move the copyright licence into one of the two other categories, or even free it. Altough the most probable is that it will move to category 3). Also, the question that needs responding now, is what do we do with regard of the various GRs ? This position statement can be something that can be easily transformed into a GR with minimal changes, and it seems to me that at least Steve Langasek will be satisfied with it. Someone (not me) should post this position statement to debian-boot and debian-release, or to the d-i and RM team personally, and get their feedback on this, and then we can try to GRize it.
