Thanks for proposing this alternative, Bart. I hereby withdraw my second for the above proposal. Reason is that I now realize that it lacks a detail I find crucial: Explicitly spelling out whether or not images containing non-free bits are official part of Debian or not. Personally I find it obvious that anything that would not be allowed into main also would not be treated as official part of Debian, but I have learned that others in the team find it equally natural to apply a different reasoning, and I find the distinction crucial. Sorry for my earlier sloppy endorsement. If Bart chose to extend the proposal to include that such media containing non-free bits (although permitted "alongside with the free media) would *not* be considered official part of Debian, then I would endorse the amended proposal. Oh, and since some has discussed abolishing the word "official", I am quite open to using a different word instead, that covers the same as I have meant all along in this thread: (not products released by others than the Debian organisation as happened decades ago, but) products released by the Debian organisation itself *and* considered part of our main product "Debian", i.e. in the spirit of our "main" archive section. I feel my abilities to express myself sharply is weak. That's the reason I don't put together a proposal on my own. I appreciate *all* proposals put forward - I recognize quite some work has been put into all of them - thanks to all contributors! - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
