There's no connection at all. Debian has multiple choices for bible
study software and Doom. Multiple choices being available in Debian is
not an indiciation at all that it's part of the operating system--in
fact, it seems that for any given task, Debian has multiple choices.
How is the relevant? The GPL OS exception, again, is not available
to Debian.
