There is a sayin that the most dangerous thing in the world is a
politician that just knows SOMETHING has to be done, but doesn't know
or care what it is, as long as SOMETHING is done.
I share Joseph's desire to get rid of non-free software, but I have
doubts as to wetherthe current resolution is the best way to go about
it.
I don't think there is a reason to modify the Social Contract, since
there are various ways in which we can remove non-free from debian's
server and the other official parts of the project that would not
conflict with a more generous reading of the Social Contracts position
with regads to non-free, but would make very clear to users that the
REAL situation with Debian was that it was 100% Free Software.
