I don't think that was in question. This sub-thread is discussing whether we *want* software in Debian whose only purpose is to sell non-free software. Software must be DFSG-free to be in Debian. Not all DFSG-free software must be distributed by Debian. -- \ "Truth would quickly cease to become stranger than fiction, | `\ once we got as used to it." -- Henry L.
