Agreed. It's called the "Debian Free Software Guidelines" and is only intended for software. This includes anything distributed as part of Debian. > For docs there should be a separate DFDG All digitally-stored, computer-accessible information is software, as distinct from the hardware that contains it. This distinction is much clearer than trying to distinguish whether a bitstream is documentation, program, image, music, prose, data, and may other classifications. Please search the archives of this mailing list for long discussions showing that many of these classifications overlap, often on the same file at the same time. “We can't depend for the long run on distinguishing one bitstream from another in order to figure out which rules apply.” —Eben Moglen <URL:http://firstmonday.org/issues/issue4_8/moglen/> -- \ "I still have my Christmas Tree.
