What about starting looking beyond these defects and go to the substance ?
If the defect is so grave as in this case, it is hard to look at the substance. So what do you call a spreadsheet with macros ? Is it a document? Is it a program ? It is a spreadsheet. Is a poem a document? To me what differentiate a program from a document is that a program can handle inputs, while, generally, documents should not. Isn't that what I said initaially? Documents are static, programs are not... I don't see how this differs from `handle inputs' to `not handle inputs'. Said that I know there a re documents that can change and take inputs, so it really does not make any sense to draw a clear line, the line moves on a case per case base. I don't think anyone wants to draw a `clear' line. I could probobly if I tried hard enough to find things which a kinda programs, and kinda art. > Debian is cleary non-free, there is nothing to dispute it. It > isn't even based on a opinion.

I don't, many Debian developers try and confuse users, we should do our out most to unconfuse them.
