A lot of people (just to pick an example out of thin air, Isaac To on the debian-devel list) seem to believe that something is Free as long as it doesn't obviously fail a clause of the DFSG. And such people tend to read the clauses of the DFSG more and more narrowly until what is Free is barely distinguishable from what is non-free. I think we should take a stand against such cynical manipulation. People are reading the words of the DFSG but can't hear the music of the Social Contract. -- G.
