The problem I have is not ANDing a, b, and c, but the phrase "collection
of free-of-charge, shareware, or non-proprietary software". This
would seem to disallow distribution of pico on a CD containing a
commercial, proprietary program (for example, with the forthcoming Corel
distribution). Doesn't that violate the DFSG?
