Somehow I thought that GNU Linux (Debian) would primarily include GNU-
copylefted packages.  It seems I was wrong -- apologies to everyone
concerned.

Anyhow, what's to stop a debian user from downloading any non-debian
package?  The only drawback is that 'dselect' won't have it in the list
of available packages (and you may have to compile and configure it).
