Re: non-free and users?



Apologies for the butchered attribution. Not sure what caused it, but I can't make sense of the attribution in Raul's post. I think the double-quoted text below is me, and I'm sure the single-quoted text is Raul.

I think he used XP as an example. Substitute in "X" if you prefer:

        If I don't have X, it will be ethical to reject a request to
        distribute X, since I do not have X.

HTH.

Except that statement doesn't make sense in the context of the current
discussion for arbitrary X.

I don't see why not.

How about:

	If neither I nor my friends have X, it will be ethical to reject
	a request to distribute X, since we do not have X.

If that's still a true statement, then why does changing 'neither I nor my friends' to 'Debian does not' change that?
