This was very often written in that thread but it is wrong. To be
stored on a FTP server or burned on a CD, you just need to be
digital. You do not need to be software. The Bible does not become
software once you type it in vi or Emacs.
[This confusion between "software" and "digital" seems very prevalent
in Debian. I share Mathieu's regrets about it.]
