It says so everywhere: The only thing that DFSG speaks about is what one *can't* have in Debain. Since none of those apply to public-domain software, the latter can be in Debian. Simple, eh? Another way of saying the same: The DFSG decribes which freedoms users and redistibutors must have in order for the software to be in Debian. Users and redistributors of public-domain software do have all those freedoms. > I'm not trying to be obstreperous, or cause trouble.

Do you want Debian to do something about that? -- Henning Makholm "Nemo enim fere saltat sobrius, nisi forte insanit."
