Personally, I'd rather that we not do this.  There are other organizations
that specialize in this (the FSF, for example), whereas Debian specializes
in producing a distribution.  Unless the issue directly affects us, it
feels to me like a dilution of effort and a dilution of focus to make
official project statements about other people's free software practices.
