Well, the reason is pretty obvious to me, as it should be to anyone who's read his messages. It's obvious to me that Boris wants TeX martyred at the hands of the DFSG, presumably so he can editorialize on how Debian has lost its way from the "true freedom" that is represented by TeX. In other words, it's the same, tired old "my free is better than your free" noise that some BSD advocates have been spewing against the Free Software Foundation for 15 years or more. -- G.
