Wouldn't help, as I noted elsewhere. "Debian is 100% free software" doesn't
actually leave any room for non-software in Debian. The previous
"interpretation" was something which it simply can't mean in English.
What you want is a GR which changes it to what you want it to say, such as
"The computer programs in Debian will remain 100% free software".
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE propose such a GR. Then we'd get a real
count of how many people believe that the DFSG should apply only to programs
and how many think they should apply to everything in Debian. We haven't had
such a count yet because the "DFSG should apply only to programs" people have
not been willing or able to actually propose a GR which says what they
*mean*.
