I consider that the SC also wants that we release now, and that we can
fulfill only one requirements of the SC right now. So, the question
is, which requirement do we take first? And, putting weight on one
requirement, like Choice 6 does, is _one_ interpretation of the SC.
The other interpretation is that we need to release now, and solve the
non-free issues regarding non-software later.
