Thanks. It's helpful that I don't actually practice, otherwise the firm I would be working for would likely never allow me to contribute here. But since I write software for a living, use Debian in my everyday life, and generally believe in the goals of the project, it's nice to be able to contribute from time to time... even if it means I don't always see eye to eye with debian-legal about the meaning of the DSFG :)

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
We are the change that we seek.
