Re: Free documents using non-free fonts - can they be in main?

[Nathanael Nerode <neroden@twcny.rr.com>]

I'm just going to note one important point about this whole thing.

This is a main/contrib issue, *not* a main/non-free issue.  Everyone
agrees that the documents which use the non-free fonts are themselves free.
The question is whether they "depend on" the non-free fonts.

Suppose for the sake of argument that the documents do "depend on" the
non-free fonts.  If the documents are a small part of the overall package,
and not essential for the package's functionality, then we allow the documents
to be in main anyway.  If the entire package "depends on" the non-free fonts,
thenit is supposed to be in "contrib".

I always felt that the line between "main" and "contrib" was especially fuzzy.
Personally, I care a lot more about the line between main/contrib and non-free.

So why isn't he in prison yet?...
