If one cannot coherently and usefully *describe* the difference between programs and documentation, it is difficult for other people to see it. I continue to suspect that people are indulging an Aristotelian categorization fetish solely as a means to an end, that end being to compel the Debian Project to ship their favorite w4r3z in main, heedless of the negative consequences to the freedoms that our users currently enjoy. After all, what utility would this distinction serve beyond providing one a means of routing around the DFSG's inconvenient restrictions? -- G.
