I propose the following amendment, replacing the entire text of the resolution: --- The Debian project resolves that it will not compromise on freedom, and will never knowingly issue another release (excluding point updates to stable releases) that contains anything in the 'main' or 'contrib' sections which is not free software according to the DFSG. --- This amendment essentially reaffirms that the current text of the social contract is what is meant, and that Debian does not cut corners in order to release sooner. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
