Re: Against DRM 2.0

2. GR-2004-003 changes the Debian Social Contract - it says that all
'works', not just software, must be free:

"We provide the guidelines that we use to determine if a ***work*** is "free"
in the document entitled "The Debian Free Software Guidelines". We
promise that the Debian system and ***all its components*** will be free
***according to these guidelines***. We will support people who create or
use both free and non-free works on Debian. We will never make the
system require the use of a non-free component."
