There's no legal difference between "Debian" and "people who recieve it from us". [Legally, there's no such entity as "Debian".] Nor is there a difference from the viewpoint of our social contract. Trying to divide us up, by drawing a line where there isn't one, is very much against what we're about. -- Raul
