Ah, but i would be barred from entering the US forever after.
Aren't you already? ;-)
Yeah, but at least the threat to remove their package from non-free would have some weight.
If you currently threaten your upstreams with that, please do us a favour and ask debian-legal to talk to them about licensing on your behalf in future.
Point taken about developer motivations, but it's odd to ignore external non-free existing already, but ask the project to act basedAnd how much of those are you using, and how much of those to you trullytrust in on production hardware ?
I have third-party free software packages on production hardware. At present, I don't believe I have any non-free third-party packages on there, but I'd need to check to be sure.
And then, there is currently packages in non-free who are more free thanpackages in main, so ...
Do you know of non-free software in main? If so, please report the bugs. Otherwise, please don't drag this OT yet again with a "yet another definition of free" (YADOF) debate.
