I know.  But http://www.debian.org/intro/free use the wording
`commercial software'.

Part of it may be my own fault.  When discussing freeing the
software with them last fall, I directed them to
http://www.debian.org/intro/free instead of directly to
http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines

:-(

I informed them of that too.  But while writing my email to them,
I found it irritating that our first `what's free' web page
didn't advocate that directly.

Does everyone agree that http://www.debian.org/intro/free should
be changed?  At least, I'd change `commercial software' to
`closed-source software' or `proprietary software'.  If there are
no objections, I can fill a bug report against www.debian.org
