There is a difference between free software and forced-advert
software, too. There is also the difference between a duck.
Debian wants software to be both free and plagiarizable.
Debian has not expressed that view, to the best of my knowledge.
XFree86 and I want
our software to be free but not plagiarizable.
Great! I look forward to you both fixing your licences.
In general, I want software
to not be plagiarizable, as I think it works against the societal
interest to
not attribute accurately.
I agree.
Saying that plagiarism is an important freedom is
like saying assault is something you must be allowed to do if you are
to be
considered free.
No-one has said that. You seem to be constructing straw men.
In case you missed it, the problem which makes XFree86's latest
licence definitely non-free (not just GPL-incompatible) is independent
of their advertising clause.
