Not everyone agrees that the world is round, either, and one can marshal as many logical arguments demonstrating that it is as one wants. Unless you're willing to make a *logical* case that is consistent with the maxim "Debian Will Remain 100% Free Software", or are willing to launch an effort to change that maxim, you're wasting everyone's time. Which part of Social Contract clause 1 do you want to get rid of? 1) "100%" 2) "Free" or 3) "Software" Perhaps all of the above. Perhaps Debian's mission should be much more loosely defined, so that we can distribute whatever nifty warez strike our fancy at the time. Licenses are *so boring*, man. -- G.
