hmmm, I see non-free.org only an additional name, which permit better separation of Debian components, and thus less confusion of our users. But I always understood that non-free will remain part of the Debian project (until we provide free alternative), so I don't think we solve the hypocritical side of the question. ciao cate PS: I think the only way to solve the problem is to have free alternatives. The non-free.org is IMHO a step to better distinguish non-free software and to push more people to write alternatives.
