To be clear, Debian isn't talking about removing the GNU Manifesto from even a single package. The only question is what permissions are granted to Debian and its users. That none of us have any intention of taking advantage of freedom to injure the original authors of this software does not prevent us from recognizing whether we have such freedom. -Brian
