That would be a real protest. Since every debian developer has agreed to act in accordance with the debian social contract, and the social contract clrealy states that "we will never make the system depend on an item of non-free software", then we obviously can't support development of the kernel. The kernel depends on being developed, and non-free software is needed to develop for it. It all depends how you interpret the phrase "depend on". michael -- michael cardenas | lead software engineer lindows.com hyperpoem.net | GNU/Linux software developer debian.org "There is no reality except the one contained within us.
