I tend to doubt that *either* was intended when this was created. It can be read either way, and there's probably not going to be a consensus. Everyone's going to read it in whatever way suits what they want. I happen to think that everything in Debian should be treated as software as far as the DFSG is concerned. It'd be convenient for me to read that sentence as you say--but I doubt this particular fine point of the statement was intended either way. It'd be nice if people would stop fixating on interpreting that statement and instead figure out what *should* be done. The statement's ambiguous. It won't help. By the way, the issue of that statement's interpretation is not settled. Please don't state your interpretation as more than an interpretation. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
