Thanks a lot, Simon. I would vote for a proposal like the above. What I mean by that is (not that I think we should all post "me too" posts here but) since I have strongly ben in favor of using "offficial" label to indicate what we as project can support, I agree that this is an approach that abandons such label yet ensures explicitly in the text we vote on that "non-free" will be clearly communicated to our users. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
