This seems like the proper place for a discussion, they are wanting to
change the Social Contract, and we are the society they have the
contract with.

I'm worried that if Debian totally ignores the non-free software
world, it will ignore Debian.

I think a much better solution would be for Debian to find a
multi-national commercial partner to take over non-free before it
gets dumped...  maybe HP.
