I never said that, I took an excessive example in order to make my ideas
clearer.

I've already searched for them before to post but I've just read many other
to make sure of I am not mistaken: I am sure most Debian users and
supporters aren't anarchists. You can read the Debian Social Contract which
is my model in open source's philosophy. It doesn't defend at all the
principles of anarchism. But the purpose of the topic is not to discuss the
anarchist ideas or our interpretations of the Debian Social Contract.

You're right, although this book is not a reference for me and my spiritual
life, it is one of the basis of our civilisation, and a model for many
people. The problem is not here. The problem is that I don't understand why
this religion is privileged to others, and especially why it is in a
operating system. Please consult my answer to Richard Braakman for more
informations about my point of view on this question.

I precisely think that they aren't useful to an operating system...
