http://x13.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=439484995&CONTEXT=917981479.400752729&hitnum=0 Now consider the fact that the LGPL has a backdoor in it and allows you to convert the work to GPL. Debian could select LesserGPL'ed libraries that fit RMS's criterion and start converting them to GPL! Debian should, of course, formalize the criteria for converting LGPL libraries to GPL before proceeding. Debian is in a particular good position for redistributing LGPL'ed work as GPL. (although this may result in forks) Alternatively, GNU could make a 100% pure GNU/OS fork on its own. Navin.
