1. Ok: how? I use "Yahoo! Mail".
Found on http://expita.com/nomime.html: "If using IE (not available in Netscape and other browsers) when in the "Compose" window, make sure "Plain" is selected rather than "Color and Graphics". These two choices are a toggle switch. Clicking on one activates it and turns off the other. In any browser, also make sure the "Allow HTML tags" checkbox at the bottom is NOT checked." I gave up on Yahoo mail ages ago - I'm a Gmail user.
2. Yes, DSC is changed, but DFSG are the same! :-) DFSG speak only about software and you value every work on the basis of a software definition! It's unlogical.
No it's not. Try running this: wget http://www.debian.org/social_contract cat social_contract | sed 's/software/work/' > social_contract_work.html Then open up that file and read it again. It is perfectly logical.
In this point of view, DSC v1 was logical and consistent; DSC v2 is unlogical and contradictory.
There is no DSC v2, it's DSC v1.1.
I suggest a Debian Free Artwork Guidelines. ;-)
Why do we need them?
3. Question: is there a lawyer here??
AFAIK there are some who are occasional contributors. Most of us aren't lawyers, we're just interested in law. andrew

GR-2004-003 changes the Debian Social Contract - it says that all 'works', not just software, must be free: "We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a ***work*** is "free" in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software Guidelines". We promise that the Debian system and ***all its components*** will be free ***according to these guidelines***. We will support people who create or use both free and non-free works on Debian. We will never make the system require the use of a non-free component."
