Re: GNU Win32? Not anymore.

Hi,

Let me clarify this issue a little:

There is a new document called "Debian Free Software Guidelines" available
in the Web site. It overrides any other previous statement which contradicts
the new one.

This document defines which software qualifies for inclusion in the Debian
Distribution. It also states that Debian aknowledges the need users have
for software which does not comply with the Guidelines. The non-free
directory is provided for exactly that purpose. Any other previous
definition of "non-free" has been superceeded by the new Guidelines.

The document in question was discussed at large by current developers, who
overwhelmingly voted to approve it.
