Oh bullshit. What makes the US government the deciding
authority? What if Saddam Hussein decides that vi is not
freely importable into IRAQ, you shall decide vi is not free? Why
does the US government have that kind of control over Debian?
We may need to move our archives to a free country before we
can technically have packages in US/main depend on packages in
non-US/main, but this crap about the US being the center of the
universe makes my skin crawl.
This may be news to you, folks, but the united states of
america is not the center of the known universe. Get over it.

Rubbish. Just move master to a free country. I am sure we can
achieve that, eventually.

It is too freely distributable. We can't help it that you live
in a police state.
