Manoj, do you read debian-user? If you do, you could notice that there were
NO clueles newbie questions there for several months. Release of 2.0beta
changed that for a little while and the same thing again. One year ago
the situation was totally different. I bet subscription level dropped
considerably from that time.

Very true.

A bit off-topic.
I'm just wondering if I understand you interpretation of DFSG correctly.
So, if the software license says "you cannot use it on Microsoft OSes" it is
discrimintaion, right? If it says "you can use it only on Linux and Hurd",
it is still discrimination. But if it says "you can use it only on free
Operating Systems" - this is not a discrimintation?
What about "you can use it only on GPL'd OS"?
Thanks.
