Re: cleanfeed as debian package?

But debian isn't trying to charge for every available piece of software.
How would we define the core OS? Commercial vendors use the "what the
market will bear" approach, which doesn't apply to debian. (E.g., how
come Sun's RAID software is a pay item and IRIX' is included? Should
debian include RAID or charge for it?)
