I see a potential problem with this policy: say I write a DFSG-compliant media player, and I want to add the ability to download songs from Amazon; I then depend on clamz. But clamz is in contrib, so my media player must go into contrib, even though it's free and depends only on free programs, and it's not useful only in combination with non-free data. I guess the example would work better with a library, but I think it's clear enough. Cheers, Luca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
