Out of curiosity, what is it about fair use that makes you call it a "perversion"? It may not be useful to Debian's purposes, but I have a hard time looking down on things that weaken the strength of IP laws, even if only by a little. (Perhaps it causes confusion about "what's free enough" and all that, but that's the licensor's fault, not the law's.) -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
