We also attempt defining ethics on our internal socializing. But we avoid doing so for areas unrelated to software and our developing it. As a principle, we (as an organisation) do not care if Debian is used to produce bombs. neither should we care if our logo is printed on T-shirts produced with child labour, or if employees at T-shirt print companies drink fairtrade coffee with non-fat organic milk. I believe it is wrong for us as organisation to attempt defining ethics in this area. That said, I also like to emphasize that personally I strongly dislike child labour. And I encourage fingerpointing at those who benefit from child labour. I would most probably join a sub-group calling themselves "Debian developers against child labour" should such a group be founded. But I would vote against a GR proposing the project as a whole to submit to ehtics regarding child labour or lots of other important issues in life. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
