Yes. According to that, things appear to be getting better.

Not huge, but a problem. Also, there is no Hans Reiser Syndrome in
wikipedia at this time.

I'll still buy computers with debian on because simply asking
questions doesn't make one like Paddy. You'd need to threaten legal
action to other related projects and then complain that the debian
project won't help you participate in those other projects, while also
failing to address the outstanding legal threats.

So we reach the end of the message and there seems no point to it.
Also, doesn't Ubuntu still contain non-free software in all its
flavours? I thought that was the whole reason gNewSense is still
working. Yes, that seems like a good word to end this: gNewSense.
