Surely you're not arguing that makes any difference. Surely you're not
claiming that Debian should ignore a very reasonable request by Donald
Knuth because you think you've found a legal loophole in his statement.
Surely you're just saying this to make an obscure pedantic point, not to
indicate that it should have anything whatsoever to do with what Debian
does.
