Well, I haven't been convinced that prohibiting this is non-free or has a
significant cost. -- so there we are. :-P
Can we at least all agree that Debian should permit everything which *isn't*

the moment Debian prohibits lots of uses which aren't anything like that,
and I'd like some forward motion on permitting them.
