Non-Free proposal -- yet another draft



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hopefully, this will be my final draft of this proposal.

This is an amendment (replacement) for Andrew Suffield's "drop non-free"
proposal:

I propose we update the social contract by replacing the word "Debian"
with the phrase "Debian Main" wherever "Debian" is used as a noun.

This would not update anything else in the social contract which needs
to be updated.  We would use lower case for this change where appropriate.

Rationale: Some people want to drop non-free at least in part because
"Debian" when used as a noun might include "non-free" -- even though
this conflicts with existing practice.  However, since "Debian" is a
project, not software, using "Debian" by itself to refer to software is
inappropriate in the social contract.
