(...) Using the same comparison, Debian Libre is more Libre-tailored than Debian. And Debian Libre contains the Libre-related stuff from Debian, but doesn't prevent the non-libre stuff.Is the concern that some people find the word "Libre" offensive here? Do they also find the FreedomBox offensive? Isn't one point of the Debian Blends concept to offer minority tailored custom niche profiles of Debian? Establishing safe spaces for minority views is a sign of a healthy organization, and I think the Debian Blends concept has been successful in that. That said, if naming were the only concern, renaming a Debian Libre Pure Blends to something else is always a possibility. I think Debian Deblob was suggested. It seems the concerns are not limited with the name, though, but I hope we can iterate to gain acceptance.
Yes, from my part, having the project name not assume that Debian does not care for software freedom. I know you don't agree with my reading, but having “Debian” and “Debian Libre”... sounds like simply “Debian” is not “Libre” enough. While the concern is, as this discussion shows, way deeper than that. Greetings, and thanks for coming to this compromise position. – Gunnar.
