The “why” does not matter. Users do not have to justify why they need to use something. I worked in for company that had a strict “no PHP” policy once. I have encountered other more or less weird scenarios in the “enterprise” (bah, this sounds like a four-letter word) world about having to use something, or do something, despite it being nōn-free, while otherwise embracing OSS. (We had a case of someone wanting to put proprietary software they have to use inside a .deb so it can be easilier managed and integrated well with Debian and removed cleanly, recently, on some mailing list.) Let me quote: 4. Our priorities are our users and free software We will be guided by the needs of our users and the free software community. We will place their interests first in our priorities. We will support the needs of our users for operation in many different kinds of computing environments. We will not object to non-free works that are intended to be used on Debian systems, or So stop this already! bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
