Are you saying that there is FSF- defined "non-free" software in Debian?
Please identify this.
There was an issue that RMS did not like the Debian installer mentioning
'non-free' repos and that Debian should not have offically hosted repos
for non-dfsg software. The former issue was done. The latter, iirc, was
not, but Debian states that it only supports DFSG software and devs
dont spend much if any time on non-DFSG software as its not the Debian
priority to develop DFSG software in favor of non-DFSG software.
And the idea of gNewSense is rather strange: take 16000 DFSG softwares, fork
1000 of them, add better desktop integration for these 1000 apps, add
non-DFSG bits, call it Ubuntu then remove the non-ubuntu-free bits and
call it gNewSense.
which is sort of like using Debian but with better desktop integration
and less apps.
cheers,
Kev
