Hmm, I think they've chosen to apply double standards. The "non-free manuals" are removed right away because they "restrict users", but GLX (under licenses declared as non-free by Debian) and the blobs in Linux and kFreeBSD are not -- it would make the distro less attractive to users, so that's an "acceptable compromise". And they distribute non-free software in the non-free section, so the "standard" is just a label for different sections of the archive. The criteria a software package should meet to get into the Debian archive is "to be legally distributable" -- that has little to do with freedom. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
