One of Debian's main priorities is free software. Many of us are of the opinion that free software is better served by the GPL than, say, the BSD license. It would upset me, and I expect others, to have the project require, or even strongly prefer, a non-GPL license, especially so if the purpose is to allow software written for Debian to be used to create systems that are not fully free. Further, we also believe this serves users best. I strongly suggest we continue the current practice where the authors get to choose their license as they wish. -- On IRC, we sometimes like to watch silence. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
