Well, of *course* we do. It would be idiotic and hypocritical to interpret it as "The software in Debian will be free, but the documentation doesn't have to be". We have historically allowed some free non-software things into the archive, since it doesn't matter very much. Why does anybody think that allowing non-free non-software things into the archive is acceptable? -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
