Does the fact we are boith ignorant mean that the authors and users of ndiswrapper be penalized? I don't know how to use a large number of interpreters and compilers in Debian (scheme, python, ...). Presumably, you, too, are not omniscient (If you are, I do apologize, god). If there is an intersection of these sets, should it have a bearing on the freeness of the packages that live in that intersection? >>>> If ndiswrapper is not in my universe, I may never get around to >>>> writing fee windows drivers that could also be used on Linux :) >>> >>> I don't understand this one. >>> >>> Why wouldn't "Contrib" be in your universe? >> >> It is not in Debian. > > I don't understand why that means it's not in your universe.
