Re: Against DRM 2.0
1. Ok: how? I use "Yahoo! Mail".
2. Yes, DSC is changed, but DFSG are the same! :-)
DFSG speak only about software and you value every work on the basis of a software definition! It's unlogical.
In this point of view, DSC v1 was logical and consistent; DSC v2 is unlogical and contradictory.
I suggest a Debian Free Artwork Guidelines. ;-)
3. Question: is there a lawyer here??

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."
