And yet, I got your joke but tried to respond in funny/ironic way to
show you how it can be *less* helpful for you cause :)

Indeed there are.
Anyway, in my personal view, I think this spoils my "community"
picture of DebConf and if people really want to learn about Debian
they will stumble at our Freedom part very quickly (to counter the fee
part again :P). On the other hand, such things could benefit Debian in
capitalistic way (more Debian jobs etc) so I think in broader way it's
good but you really needed to mention this way earlier if you wanted
it to be "close" to DebConf.
