'We acknowledge that some of our users require the use of works
that do not conform to the Debian Free Software Guidelines. We
have created "contrib" and "non-free" areas in our archive for
these works. The packages in these areas are not part of the
Debian system, although they have been configured for use with
Debian.' -- http://www.fr.debian.org/social_contract
Maybe neither of us agrees with the resulting action, but I think
that's an understandable, clear and obvious motive. The Debian OS
itself is 100% free software nevertheless and the project doesn't
develop proprietary software.
No, it isn't. It is quite irrelevant how much you quote the Social
Contract. Go look at ftp.debian.org for a change, specially in the
non-free and contrib directories. Infact, Debian does develop
non-free software, since DD's who support the non-free section do
exactly that, develop it.
I'd expect
the debian project to be in GBN's contrib list, not GBN itself.
I expect GBN not to have a "contrib" list, since such a list will only
recommend companies that do non-free software.
