I present the first sentence of clause 1 of the social contract as evidence, to which every Debian developer has agreed: "We promise to keep the Debian GNU/Linux Distribution entirely free software." This is clear and unambiguous. Also, if it is practical to create an operating system comprised entirely of free software from the ground up, it is certainly practical to remove a handful of materials which accidentally got included because nobody thought to check their licenses at the time. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
