My point is that it is important to defend the principles upon which Debian is founded. This relates to both XLibre and any other project, which is why the statements I made are generic in nature and not based on any specific defense of XLibre. If people do want to talk specifics about why XLibre should be blacklisted, then they need to bring up specific reasons why. Since I wrote the the statement quoted above, a few specifics have been brought up in this thread. But, as has already been said by one other person, nothing in those specifics come close to justification for preventing software written by the developers of XLibre from being included in Debian if someone wants to do the work to package it. -- Soren Stoutner soren@debian.org
