Hi Peter, if a piece of software was initially created to enable the use of non-dfsg software with a dfsg system it is classified as 'ícontri', but then someone creates dfsg-software to use this software, now its classified as 'main'. Would this follow? And then once in main, if the dfsg-use is abondoned, would it be reclassified as 'contrib'? But it also seems that the dfsg-use is not an absolute condition, it has to be deem non-toy and useful which is not an easily agreed upon idea.
