I'd appreciate some advise/suggestions about the bug report below. I agree with Francesco that Debian does not necessarily promote "the ideals of the Free Software _Foundation_". However, others are probably more aware of the historical context. I am also unsure if replacing that by "ideals of Free Software" is correct. After all, Free Software is hardly a sentient entity that can have ideals. TIA, FJP (Please keep both the list and the BR in replies.)
