should be there!

"This makes me wonder: If the project behind a distribution is able to  
support, develop and distribute proprietary software while at the same time  
redefining what constitutes their distribution so as to be considered 100%  
free then can't all distros do the same thing and make the same claim? Would  
we then not be required to accept them as being 100% free if they do these  
very same actions that Debian has done so as to avoid being hypocritical? Is  
it not becoming too easy for a distribution to say that they're 100% free?"
