Karl Goetz, the former lead gNewSense developer is also a Debian developer, IIRC. If anything, I think it would be nice if gNewSense no longer had a purpose, if gNewSense didn't have any patches to apply to Debian anymore. Because then the role of gNewSense would be filled by Debian, a much larger project. > Hopefully, one day, Debian will be fully free and fsf-endorsed. > They're pretty close now, imo. Then this will be moot. There are still some finer points to be covered in freeing Debian completely. gNewSense will have a purpose for at least a few years IMHO. Andrew.
