I'll encourage everyone interested in these topics to read this, very influential for me, essay by Mako: Free Software Needs Free Tools http://mako.cc/writing/hill-free_tools.html Also, +1 to Paul's mail. The DPL is a rather special case. I certainly don't fancy Debian being slashdotted due to the DPL using non-free software publicly, at the very least as long as suitable Free alternatives exist.
