Right. So? Lindows isn't such a partner, AFAIK.

Emphasis is on »should«. It isn't a »must«. Like I said, if it would be
a »must« then Debian wouldn't be free. And some like to do not.
Wether we like it or not is not the question. We have to accept it if
they don't like to. We don't force anyone to do something, not even our
own developers (from which I'm also just one, nothing special, so my
input in this thread doesn't mean anything more or less than the the
input anyone else would have been able to give you).
Have fun,
Alfie
P.S.: Please wrap your lines at around 75 characters or such, it is
annoying to have to wrap it to read it, and some mail clients might
not be able to do so.
P.P.S.: Btw., I'm reading the lists that I write to, no need to Cc: me
unless I explicitly request Cc's. I'm not sure about you, though.
