They always consider the SHAREHOLDER, when making fiscal decisions. They nearly always shop the VENDOR list. Based on that, Debian says the USER is their Customer. They always consider the DFSG Approved LICENSE LIST, when packaging a new software package. Debian is by the DEVELOPER for the DEVELOPER which in turn are also the USER. > > PS Same applies to debian-developerS etc. See previous response!
