Is there any reason why this draft specifically spells out one of the interoperability standards which Debian would be supporting? The Social Contract generally does not define technical standards, and while it seems reasonable to support interoperability standards, I'm not sure that spelling out a specific one that might not apply appropriately to the other non-Linux based distributions is a good idea. [As a general question, can Debian Developers even issue such a technical statement under §4.1.5?] Don Armstrong -- CNN/Reuters: News reports have filtered out early this morning that US forces have swooped on an Iraqi Primary School and detained 6th Grade teacher Mohammed Al-Hazar. Sources indicate that, when arrested, Al-Hazar was in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a set square and a calculator. US President George W Bush argued that this was clear and overwhelming evidence that Iraq indeed possessed weapons of maths instruction. http://www.donarmstrong.com http://www.anylevel.com http://rzlab.ucr.edu
