This distribution was founded on equal parts quality and freedom. The DFSG
is a statement of the Debian definition of what constitutes Free Software.
That it came after the evolution of the group is inevitable. The fact that
we have all (at least in spirit) agreed to these principles does not
require that they be your only reason for being here, but it is expected
that you will not work to thwart those ideals expressed in this document.
We are about Quality, we are about Freedom, and yes, we are about dpkg ;-)
Luck,
Dwarf
