Bruce,
I don't understand why you didn't answer my questions.
I realize that applixware does not meat "free software guidlines".
But it cannot be placed in non-free directory either.
So I ask you again, what was meant by non-free in the _first_ paragraph
of "Social contract" passage:
We will support our users who develop and run non-free
software on Debian, ...
Does Debian support users developing something like applixware?
Thank you.
Alex Y.
